A Prophecy against the Philistines

47 This is[a] the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh conquered Gaza. This is what the Lord says:

“Look, waters are rising from the north,
    and they’ll become an overflowing river.
They’ll overflow the land and all that fills it[b]
    the city and those that live in it.
People will cry out,
    and all those living in the land will wail.
