Jeremiah 47:4 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Because the day is coming when all the Philistines will be completely destroyed, and Tyre and Sidon will lose every ally they have left. The LORD is going to wipe out the Philistines — everyone who's left from their original homeland of Caphtor.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When God decides it's over, even your backup plans and allies can't save you.

Zephaniah 2:5

This is bad news for everyone living along the coast — you Philistines and all the people in that region. God has spoken against you, and it's serious. He's saying he'll completely wipe out your land until no one's left there.
