¹ 法老攻擊迦薩之先，有耶和華論非利士人的話臨到先知耶利米。

² 耶和華如此說：有水從北方發起，成為漲溢的河，要漲過遍地和其中所有的，並城和其中所住的。人必呼喊；境內的居民都必哀號。

³ 聽見敵人壯馬蹄跳的響聲和戰車隆隆、車輪轟轟；為父的手就發軟，不回頭看顧兒女。

⁴ 因為日子將到，要毀滅一切非利士人，剪除幫助推羅、西頓所剩下的人。原來耶和華必毀滅非利士人，就是迦斐託海島餘剩的人。

⁵ 迦薩成了光禿；平原中所剩的亞實基倫歸於無有。你用刀劃身，要到幾時呢？

⁶ 耶和華的刀劍哪，你到幾時才止息呢？你要入鞘，安靖不動。

⁷ 耶和華既吩咐你攻擊亞實基倫和海邊之地，他已經派定你，焉能止息呢？

²⁵ 拆毀摩押的城邑，各人拋石填滿一切美田，塞住一切水泉，砍伐各種佳樹，只剩下吉珥哈列設的石牆；甩石的兵在四圍攻打那城。

²⁴ It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;

²⁵ then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
