Jeremiah

Jeremiah 47:4–5

4For the day has come

to destroy all the Philistines,

to cut off from Tyre and Sidon

every remaining ally.

Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines,

the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.a

5The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning;

Ashkelon will be silenced.

O remnant of their valley,b

how long will you gash yourself?
