Telling the Day Comes to Plunder the: Philistines, Tyrus & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon] |
Jeremiah 47:1-7 The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh [struck] Gaza. The Lord says [this; See,] waters rise up out of the North & shall be an overflowing flood & shall overflow the land & all that is [in it:] the city & [those who live] there. |
Then, the men & all the inhabitants of the land shall cry [out] & shall howl. The [Philistine] fathers shall not look back [for] their children, because [of their feeble] hands; at the [sound] of the stamping hoofs [of Nebuchadnezzar's] strong horses & the rumbling wheels of his [roaring] chariots. [Nahum 3:2 The [sound] of: a whip; the rattling wheels; [galloping] horses; & [jostling] chariots.] |
Because the day comes to [plunder] all the Philistines & to cut off every helper, [who] remains from Tyrus & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon.] For the Lord will [plunder] the Philistines & the [rest] of the country of Caphtor. |
[Ezekiel 6:13-14 Then, you shall know that I Am the Lord, when their slain men shall be among their idols [all around] their altars & upon every high hill & in the tops of the mountains & under: every green tree & every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet [incense] to all their idols. |
So, I will stretch out My hand upon them & make the land desolate. [Yes,] more desolate in all their [residences] than the wilderness toward Diblath. And they shall know that I Am the Lord.] |
Baldness [has] come upon Gaza. Ashkelon is cut off with the [rest] of their valley. How long will you cut yourself? [Jeremiah 48:37-38 For every head shall be bald & every beard clipped. Upon all the hands shall be cuttings & sackcloth upon the [waists.] |
Generally, there shall be [mourning] upon the housetops of Moab & in [its] streets. For I have broken Moab, like a [hard, clay] vessel, [in which] there is no pleasure, says the Lord.] |
O you sword of the Lord, how long will it be [before] you [are at peace?] Put yourself up into your scabbard; rest & be still. [Jeremiah 12:11-12 They have made it desolate & being desolate, it mourns to Me. The whole land is made desolate, because no man [takes] it to heart. |
The [plunderers have] come upon all [the] high places through the wilderness. For the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land, even to the other end of the land. No [living] shall have peace.] |
How can it be quiet, [since] the Lord has given it a [responsibility] against: Ashkelon & the sea shore. He has appointed it there. [Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against a: hypocritical nation, [a.k.a. saying one thing and doing another,] & the people of My [anger.] I will give him a [responsibility,] to take the [plunder] & the [prize] & to [trample] them down like the [mud in] the streets.] |
