Jeremiah 47:6 in context

  1. 4because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines,
    to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
    for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines,
    the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
  2. 5Baldness has come on Gaza;
    Ashkelon is brought to nothing,
    the remnant of their valley:
    how long will you cut yourself?
  3. 6“ ‘You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you are quiet?
    Put yourself back into your scabbard;
    rest, and be still.’
  4. 7“How can you be quiet,
    since Yahweh has given you a command?
    Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore,
    there has he appointed it.”
