Jeremiah 47:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 from the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
from the clattering of his chariots,[a]
the noise of their wheels.
Fathers do not turn to their children
because of the slackness of their hands.
4 Because of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and from Sidon
every survivor who could help,
for Yahweh is destroying the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5 Baldness has come upon Gaza,
Ashkelon is destroyed.
O remnant of their valley,
how long[b] will you cut yourself with a blade?
