Book of Jeremiah Chapter 47 Summary

  • More poetry. God also predicts disaster for the Philistines.
  • Water will come out of the north and flood and destroy the land and the cities and people who live in them (meaning the Babylonians will invade like a flood).
  • Parents won't be able to save their children.
  • Ashkelon, Tyre, Gaza, Sidon, and the remaining Philistines on the coastland will be destroyed with God's help.
  • A voice cries out asking God for mercy, but he's on a roll.
  • His sword won't go back into its scabbard until it's been satisfied with destruction.
