Jeremiah 47:3-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. When you hear the thunderof horses and chariots,your courage will vanish,and parents will abandontheir own children.

4. You refugees from Crete,your time has now come,and I will destroy you.None of you will be leftto help the citiesof Tyre and Sidon.

5-6. The Anakim who survivein Gaza and Ashkelonwill mourn for youby shaving their headsand sitting in silence.You ask how long will I continueto attack you with my sword,then you tell me to put it awayand leave you alone.

7. But how can my sword rest,when I have commanded itto attack Ashkelonand the coast?
