1Dies ist das Wort des HERRN, das an den Propheten Jeremia erging über die Philister, ehe der Pharao Gaza schlug: (1Mo 10,14; 1Kön 5,4; Jer 25,20; Am 1,6; Zef 2,4; Zef 2,5; Sach 9,5; Sach 9,6)2So spricht der HERR: Siehe, es steigen Wasser vom Norden empor, die werden zu einem überschwemmenden Wildbach und überfluten das Land und was darin ist, die Stadt und die in ihr wohnen, sodass die Leute schreien und alle Bewohner des Landes heulen. (Jer 4,8; Jer 46,7; Hes 30,2)3Vor dem Getöse der Hufe seiner stampfenden Pferde, vor dem Rasseln seiner Wagen, vor dem Getöse seiner Räder sehen sich die Väter nicht einmal nach ihren Kindern um, so schlaff sind ihre Hände. (5Mo 28,54; Kla 4,3; Nah 3,2)4Denn der Tag ist gekommen, um alle Philister zu vertilgen und von Tyrus und Zidon alle noch übrigen Helfer auszurotten; denn der HERR zerstört die Philister, den Überrest der Insel Kaphtor. (Hes 25,16)5Kahlheit kommt über Gaza! Askalon geht unter, die letzte Stadt ihrer Tiefebene! Wie lange willst du dir Trauerzeichen einritzen? (1Kön 18,28; Jer 41,5; Jer 47,1)6O du Schwert des HERRN, wann willst du endlich ruhen? Kehre doch zurück in deine Scheide, raste und halte dich still! (5Mo 32,41; 1Chr 21,15; 1Chr 21,27; Jer 12,12)7Wie sollte es aber ruhen? Hat doch der HERR es beordert, gegen Askalon und gegen die Meeresküste, dorthin hat er es bestellt. (Jer 47,5; Hes 14,17; Hes 21,9; Hes 21,14; Am 3,6; Mi 6,9; Zef 2,5)
Jeremia 47
King James Version
1The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.2Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses , at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;4Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?6O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.7How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
Jeremia 47
New International Version
A message about the Philistines
1This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:2This is what the Lord says: ‘See how the waters are rising in the north; they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it, the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out; all who dwell in the land will wail3at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds, at the noise of enemy chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Parents will not turn to help their children; their hands will hang limp.4For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines and to remove all survivors who could help Tyre and Sidon. The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[1]5Gaza will shave her head in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. You remnant on the plain, how long will you cut yourselves?6‘ “Alas, sword of the Lord, how long till you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still.”7But how can it rest when the Lord has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast?’
