Jeremiah 47

Jeremiah prophesies YHWH's judgment against the Philistines, symbolized by a devastating flood from the north (the Babylonian invasion) that will destroy their cities including Gaza, Ashkelon, Tyre, and Sidon.[1][3] YHWH's sword of judgment will remain active until the destruction is complete, leaving the Philistines in utter despair as parents abandon their children and the people engage in extreme mourning rituals.[1][5]
