World English Bible Classic
[1] Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza. [2] Yahweh says:
“Behold, waters rise up out of the north,
and will become an overflowing stream,
and will overflow the land and all that is therein,
the city and those who dwell therein.
The men will cry,
and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.
[3] At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones,
at the rushing of his chariots,
at the rumbling of his wheels,
the fathers don’t look back for their children
because their hands are so feeble,
[4] because 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.
[5] Baldness has come on Gaza;
Ashkelon is brought to nothing.
You remnant of their valley,
how long will you cut yourself? [6] “ ‘You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you are quiet?
Put yourself back into your scabbard;
rest, and be still.’ [7] “How can you be quiet,
since Yahweh has given you a command?
Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore,
there he has appointed it.”

King James Version
Philistia
[1] The word H1697 of the Lord H3068 that came to Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 against the Philistines, H6430 before that Pharaoh H6547 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) Gaza. H5804§ [2] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Behold, waters H4325 rise up H5927 (QalActPtc) out of the north, H6828 and shall be an overflowing H7857 (QalActPtc) flood, H5158 and shall overflow H7857 (QalImpf) the land, H776 and all that is therein; H4393§ the city, H5892 and them that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) therein: then the men H120 shall cry, H2199 (QalPerf) and all the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of the land H776 shall howl. H3213 (HiphPerf) [3] At the noise H6963 of the stamping H8161 of the hoofs H6541 of his strong H47 horses, at the rushing H7494 of his chariots, H7393 and at the rumbling H1995 of his wheels, H1534 the fathers H1 shall not look back H6437 (HiphPerf) to their children H1121 for feebleness H7510 of hands; H3027 [4] because of the day H3117 that cometh H935 (QalActPtc) to spoil H7703 (QalInf) all the Philistines, H6430 and to cut off H3772 (HiphInf) from Tyrus H6865 and Zidon H6721 every helper H5826 (QalActPtc) that remaineth: H8300 for the Lord H3068 will spoil H7703 (QalActPtc) the Philistines, H6430 the remnant H7611 of the country H339§ of Caphtor. H3731 [5] Baldness H7144 is come H935 (QalPerf) upon Gaza; H5804 Ashkelon H831 is cut off H1820 (NiphPerf) with the remnant H7611 of their valley: H6010 how long wilt thou cut H1413 (HipoImpf) thyself? [6] O H1945 thou sword H2719 of the Lord, H3068 how long will it be ere H3808 thou be quiet? H8252 (QalImpf) put up H622 (NiphImpv) thyself§ into thy scabbard, H8593 rest, H7280 (NiphImpv) and be still. H1826 (QalImpv) [7] How can it be§ quiet, H8252 (QalImpf) seeing the Lord H3068 hath given it a charge H6680 (PielPerf) against Ashkelon, H831 and against the sea H3220 shore? H2348 there hath he appointed H3259 (QalPerf) it.Footnotes
