1 אֲשֶׁר הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֶל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּטֶרֶם יַכֶּה פַרְעֹה אֶת־עַזָּה׃ ס	1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
2 כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה הִנֵּה־מַיִם עֹלִים מִצָּפֹון וְהָיוּ לְנַחַל שֹׁוטֵף וְיִשְׁטְפוּ אֶרֶץ וּמְלֹואָהּ עִיר וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ וְזָעֲקוּ הָאָדָם וְהֵילִל כֹּל יֹושֵׁב הָאָרֶץ	2 'Yahweh says this: Look, the waters are rising from the north to become an overwhelming flood,overwhelming the country and all in it, the town and its inhabitants! People cry for help, and there is wailing fromal the country's inhabitants
3 מִקֹּול שַׁעֲטַת פַּרְסֹות אַבִּירָיו מֵרַעַשׁ לְרִכְבֹּו הֲמֹון גַּלְגִּלָּיו לֹא־הִפְנוּ אָבֹות אֶל־בָּנִים מֵרִפְיֹון יָדָיִם	3 at the thunder of his chargers' hoofs, the crash of his chariots, the grinding of his wheels. Fathers forgetabout their children, their hands fal limp
4 עַל־הַיֹּום הַבָּא לִשְׁדֹוד אֶת־כָּל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְהַכְרִית לְצֹר וּלְצִידֹון כֹּל שָׂרִיד עֹזֵר כִּי־שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים שְׁאֵרִית אִי כַפְתֹּור	4 because the day has come for all the Philistines to be destroyed, for Tyre and Sidon to be stripped tothe last of their al ies. Yes, Yahweh is destroying the Philistines, the remnant from the Isle of Caphtor.
5 בָּאָה קָרְחָה אֶל־עַזָּה נִדְמְתָה אַשְׁקְלֹון שְׁאֵרִית עִמְקָם עַד־מָתַי תִּתְגֹּודָדִי׃ ס	5 Baldness has befallen Gaza, Ashkelon has been reduced to silence. You who remain in the val ey, howlong wil you gash yourselves?
6 הֹוי חֶרֶב לַיהוָה עַד־אָנָה לֹא תִשְׁקֹטִי הֵאָסְפִי אַל־תַּעְרֵךְ הֵרָגְעִי וָדֹמִּי	6 Oh, sword of Yahweh, how long before you rest? Back into your scabbard, stop, keep stil !
7 אֵיךְ תִּשְׁקֹטִי וַיהוָה צִוָּה־לָהּ אֶל־אַשְׁקְלֹון וְאֶל־חֹוף הַיָּם שָׁם יְעָדָהּ׃ ס	7 Yet how can it rest when Yahweh has given it an order, Ashkelon and the sea coast, the targetsassigned to it?
