Jeremiah 47:4Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Versionbecause the time has come to destroy all the Philistines. The time has come to destroy Tyre and Sidon’s remaining helpers. The Lord will destroy the Philistines, the survivors from the Island of Crete. See the chapter |
The prophet says, “Israel, learn this: The time of punishment has come. The time has come for you to pay for the evil things you did.” But the people of Israel say, “The prophet is a fool. This man with God’s Spirit is crazy.” The prophet says, “You will be punished for your terrible sins. You will be punished for your hate.”
“But on that day, the Lord GOD All-Powerful will win. He will give his enemies the punishment they deserve. His sword will kill until it is finished, until it has satisfied its thirst for blood. Yes, the Lord GOD All-Powerful will kill them as a sacrifice in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.
