Jeremiah 47:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Mourning^[a] will come upon Gaza;
    silence will cover Ashkelon,
        the few left in their valley.
How long will you gash yourselves in grief?^[b]
6     You sword of the Lord,
    how long until you are silent?
Return to your sheath;
    rest and be still!
⁷ How can you be silent
    when the Lord has directed you^[c]
        to attack Ashkelon and the coast line?
