jeremiah 47:7 "How can it be quiet, When the LORD has given it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast-- There He has assigned it."

7. Jeremiah, from addressing the sword in the second person, turns to his hearers and speaks of it in the third person.
Lord . . . given it a charge-- (Eze 14:17).
the sea-shore--the strip of land between the mountains and Mediterranean, held by the Philistines: "their valley" (see on Jer 47:5).
there hath he appointed it-- (Mic 6:9). There hath He ordered it to rage.

jeremiah 47:7 "How can it be quiet, When the LORD has given it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast-- There He has assigned it."
