This is the word of the LORD that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh defeated Gaza.
This is what the LORD says:
Look, water is rising from the north
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
It will overflow the land and everything in it,
the cities and their inhabitants.
The people will cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
Baldness is coming to Gaza;
Ashkelon will become silent.
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?
Oh, sword of the LORD!
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!
