Jeremiah 47:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon is silenced.
O remnant of Anakim![a]
How long will you gash yourselves?(A)
6 Ah, sword of the Lord!
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
rest and be still!(B)
7 How can it[b] be quiet,
when the Lord has given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore—
there he has appointed it.(C)
