1Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. The message was given to me before Gaza city in Philistia was captured by the army of Egypt.
2This is what Yahweh said:
3They will hear the sound of the hooves of the enemy horses,
4It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed,
5The people of Gaza will be humiliated;
6The people of Philistia say, “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you tell our enemies to stop killing us with [PRS] their swords?
7But it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there,
