Jeremiah 47:6

King James Version

⁶O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Jeremiah 47:6

New International Version

⁶“‘Alas, sword^(A) of the Lord,
how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
cease and be still.’^(B)

⁷How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

⁷But how can it rest
when the Lord has commanded it,
when he has ordered it
to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”^(A)
