1. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Palestinians, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2. Thus hath the Lord said: 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 cities and those 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 comes to destroy all the Palestinians, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remains: for the Lord will destroy the Palestinians, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.
