Jeremiah 29

Jeremiah 29, verse 1. ¹Against the Philistines: Jeremiah 29, verse 2. ²Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters come up from the north and shall be a flooding torrent, which will flood the land, the entire city, and those dwelling in it. The men will cry out, and all those inhabiting the land will wail loudly, Jeremiah 29, verse 3. ³because of the sound of his attack, the hoofs of his horses, and the rumblings of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels. Because of the weakness of their hands, the fathers did not return to their sons, Jeremiah 29, verse 4. ⁴to destroy all the Philistines in the day to come. I shall utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies, because the Lord will put to death the remaining people of the islands. Jeremiah 29, verse 5. ⁵Baldness is come upon Gaza, and Ashkelon is cast out, along with the rest of the Enakim. Jeremiah 29, verse 6. ⁶How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? How long will it be until you rest? Return to your sheath, rest and be exalted. Jeremiah 29, verse 7. ⁷How shall it be quiet, for the Lord has given it a commission against Ashkelon and the regions of the seacoast, to be stirred up against the remaining countries?”
