Jeremiah 47:5-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon has perished.O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourselves?

6. Ah, sword of the Lord!How long till you are quiet?Put yourself into your scabbard;rest and be still!

7. How can it be quiet when the Lord has given it a charge?Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it.”
