Jeremiah 47:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Baldness has come upon Gaza,
    Ashkelon is silenced.
O remnant of their power!^[a]
    How long will you gash yourselves?
⁶ Ah, sword of the Lord!
    How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard,
    rest and be still!
⁷ How can it^[b] be quiet,
    when the Lord has given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore—
    there he has appointed it.
