"See how the waters are rising in the north;^(c)
    they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
    the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
    all who dwell in the land will wail^(d)
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
    at the noise of enemy chariots^(e)
    and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
    their hands will hang limp.^(f)
4 For the day has come
    to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
    who could help Tyre^(g) and Sidon.^(h)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,⁽ⁱ⁾
    the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.^[a](j)
5 Gaza will shave^(k) her head in mourning;
    Ashkelon^(l) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
    how long will you cut^(m) yourselves?

⁶ "‘Alas, sword⁽ⁿ⁾ of the Lord,
    how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
    cease and be still.'^(o)
7 But how can it rest
    when the Lord has commanded it,
when he has ordered it
    to attack Ashkelon and the coast?"^(p)
