Jeremiah 47:4-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

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?
