A command for the sword to be quiet · rare
In Jeremiah 47:6, the Niphal imperative directly addresses the sword of the LORD. The surrounding appeal asks how long it will remain active and calls for it to rest and be silent; the APB renders the command "rest and be silent."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB presents the surrounding clauses with "rest," "resting place," "give rest," and, for the address to the sword, "quiet" and "be silent." These phrases indicate the clauses' presentation rather than fixed individual renderings.
