Jeremiah 47:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Baldness [as a token of mourning] will come upon Gaza; Ashkelon will be cut off and be dumb. O remnant of their valley and of the giants, how long will you gash yourselves [as a token of mourning]?

⁶ O you sword of the Lord, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still.

⁷ How can it [the sword of the Lord] be quiet when the Lord has given it an assignment to discharge? Against Ashkelon and against the [whole Philistine] seashore He has appointed it.
