A Message About the Philistine People

47 This is the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines. This message came before Pharaoh attacked the city of Gaza.

This is what the Lord says:
“Look, the enemy is gathering in the north[a] like rising water.
    They will come like a river spilling over its banks.
They will cover the whole country like a flood.
    They will cover the towns and the people living in them.
Everyone in the country will cry for help.
    Everyone will cry out in pain.
