Jeremia 47 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Profeti imod filistrene

1 Det følgende budskab om filistrene i Gaza modtog jeg, før byen blev erobret af egypterhæren.

2 Herren siger: „En flodbølge fra nord vil oversvømme filistrenes land, og den vil ødelægge byerne med alle deres indbyggere. Folk vil skrige af rædsel, og alle i landet vil græde.

3 Hør hestenes trampen og vognhjulenes rumlen, mens de suser fremad. Forældre vil springe for livet uden at få deres hjælpeløse børn med.

4 Nu er timen kommet, hvor filistrene og deres forbundsfæller fra Tyrus og Sidon skal udryddes. Ja, Herren udrydder filistrene, den sidste rest af indvandrerne fra Kreta.

5 Gazas indbyggere rager håret af i sorg. Ashkalons folk er stumme af rædsel. Resten af det tidligere så mægtige folk snitter sig i huden af bar fortvivlelse.

6 Det hjælper ikke, at de råber til mig om at standse fjendens nedslagtninger,

7 for det er mig, der har sendt dem. Jeg har beordret dem til at slå ned på Ashkalon, ja, alle dem, der bor langs havet.”

King James Version

1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

2 Thus 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.

3 At 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;

4 Because 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.

5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
