Jeremiah 47:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Baldness[a] is coming to Gaza.
Ashkelon is silenced.
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?[b]
6 Ah, sword of the Lord,
how long before you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard,
be at rest, be silent!
7 How can it be quiet,
when the Lord has ordered disaster
to come to Ashkelon and the seashore?
That’s where he has assigned it.”
