◄ Jeremiah 47:3 ►

at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.

Context

3“Because of the noise of the galloping hoofs of his stallions,
         The tumult of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
         The fathers have not turned back for their children,
         Because of the limpness of their hands,

4On account of the day that is coming
         To destroy all the Philistines,
         To cut off from Tyre and Sidon
         Every ally that is left;
         For the LORD is going to destroy the Philistines,
         The remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.

5“Baldness has come upon Gaza;
         Ashkelon has been ruined.
         O remnant of their valley,
         How long will you gash yourself?

6“Ah, sword of the LORD,
         How long will you not be quiet?
         Withdraw into your sheath;
         Be at rest and stay still.

7“How can it be quiet,
         When the LORD has given it an order?
         Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
         There He has assigned it.”
