Jeremiah 47:2-4
Tree of Life Version
2 Thus says Adonai:
“Look, waters rising from the north
will become an overflowing torrent,
and overflow the land and all in it,
the city and those dwelling in it
and the men will cry,
and every inhabitant of the land wail.
3 The noise—
the stomping hooves of his stallions,
the rumbling of his chariots,
the reverberation of his wheels!
Fathers will not turn back for their children
because of their limp hands.
4 For the day is coming
to devastate all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally.
For Adonai will destroy the Philistines,
the rest of the island of Caphtor.
Jeremiah 47:2-4
English Standard Version
2 “Thus says the Lord:
(A)Behold, waters are rising (B)out of the north,
(C)and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow (D)the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Men shall cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
(E)at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
the fathers (F)look not back to their children,
so feeble are their hands,
4 because of the day that is coming to destroy
all (G)the Philistines,
to cut off from (H)Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord is destroying the Philistines,
(I)the remnant of the coastland of (J)Caphtor.
