Jeremiah 47:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 At the noise and stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the noise of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels: [a]the fathers shall not look back to their children, for feebleness of [b]hands,
4 Because of the day that cometh to destroy all the Philistines, and to destroy Tyre, and Sidon, and all the rest that take their part: for the Lord will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of [c]Caphtor.
5 [d]Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ashkelon is cut up with the rest of their valleys. How long wilt [e]thou cut thyself?

Jeremiah 47:3-5
New International Version
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariots(A)
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.(B)
4 For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre(C) and Sidon.(D)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(E)
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[a](F)
5 Gaza will shave(G) her head in mourning;
Ashkelon(H) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
how long will you cut(I) yourselves?
