Jeremiah 47:5 in Context — Jeremiah 47

3 A cause du retentissement des sabots de ses puissants chevaux, Du bruit de ses chars et du fracas des roues; Les pères ne se tournent pas vers leurs enfants, Tant les mains sont affaiblies,

4 Parce que le jour arrive où seront détruits tous les Philistins, Exterminés tous ceux qui servaient encore d’auxiliaires à Tyr et à Sidon; Car l’Éternel va détruire les Philistins, Les restes de l’île de Caphtor.

5 Gaza est devenue chauve, Askalon est dans le silence, le reste de leur plaine aussi. Jusques à quand te feras-tu des incisions?

6 Ah! Épée de l’Éternel, quand te reposeras-tu? Rentre dans ton fourreau, Arrête, et sois tranquille!

7 Comment te reposerais-tu? L’Éternel lui donne ses ordres, C’est contre Askalon et la côte de la mer qu’il la dirige.
