Jeremias 47:4
Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- pro adventu diei in quo vastabuntur omnes Philisthiim, et dissipabitur Tyrus et Sidon cum omnibus reliquis auxiliis suis : depopulatus est enim Dominus Palæstinos, reliquias insulæ Cappadociæ.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 29:4
- ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐπερχομένῃ τοῦ ἀπολέσαι πάντας τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους. καὶ ἀφανιῶ τὴν Τύρον καὶ τὴν Σειδῶνα καὶ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τῆς βοηθείας αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐξολεθρεύσει Κύριος τοὺς καταλοίπους τῶν νήσων.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- עַל הַיּ֗וֹם הַבָּא֙ לִשְׁד֣וֹד אֶת כָּל פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים לְהַכְרִ֤ית לְצֹר֙ וּלְצִיד֔וֹן כֹּ֖ל שָׂרִ֣יד עֹזֵ֑ר כִּֽי שֹׁדֵ֤ד יְהוָה֙ אֶת פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים שְׁאֵרִ֖ית אִ֥י כַפְתּֽוֹר
Haydock's commentary
Tyre. See chap. xlvii. 4., and Ezechiel xxvi., &c.
Sidon. It had rejoiced at the downfall of its rival, (Isaias xxiii. 4.) and of the Jews, Joel iii. 4., and Ezechiel xxviii. 24. Artax Ochus punished it severely; (Calmet) and its own king, Tenner, betrayed his subjects, who were slain by the Persians, or burnt themselves in the conflagration of the city. (Diodorus, Olym. 177. a. 2.)
Helpers; Philistines, who came originally from the isle of Caphtor, or Crete.
Cappadocia was not an island, or near the sea, (Calmet) but at a distance from the Jews. (Sanctius)
Where a note speaks of the Jewish people, the Church teaches that the Passion cannot be charged against all the Jews then living, nor against the Jews of today, and that all sinners were its authors (CCC 597, 598).
