ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪૭:૫
ગાઝાનું માથું મૂંડેલુ છે. આશ્કલોન એટલે તેઓની ખીણમાનું જે બચી ગયેલું તે નષ્ટ થયું છે. તું ક્યાં સુધી પોતાને કાપીને ઘાયલ કરશે?
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४७:५
गाज़ा के लोग सिर मुँड़ाए हैं, अश्कलोन जो पलिश्तियों के नीचान में अकेला रह गया है, वह भी मिटाया गया है; तू कब तक अपनी देह चीरता रहेगा?

In context

3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back for their children because their hands are so feeble,

4because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

5Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing. You remnant of their valley, how long will you cut yourself?

6“‘You sword of the LORD, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself back into your scabbard; rest, and be still.’

7“How can you be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there he has appointed it.”
