Zechariah 9

1The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of Jehovah upon the landH776 of Hadrach, and DamascusH1834 shall be its resting-place (for the eyeH5869 of manH120 and of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 is toward Jehovah); 2and HamathH2574, alsoH1571, which bordereth thereon; TyreH6865 and SidonH6721, because they are veryH3966 wiseH2449. 3And TyreH6865 did buildH1129 herself a stronghold, and heaped up silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and fine goldH2742 as the mire of the streetsH2351. 4Behold, the LordH136 will dispossessH3423 her, and he will smite her power in the seaH3220; and she shall be devouredH398 with fireH784. 5AshkelonH831 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372; GazaH5804 also, and shall be sore pained; and EkronH6138, for her expectation shall be putH954 to shameH954; and the kingH4428 shall perishH6 from GazaH5804, and AshkelonH831 shall not be inhabitedH3427. 6And a bastard shall dwellH3427 in AshdodH795, and I will cutH3772 off the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430. 7And I will take awayH5493 his bloodH1818 out of his mouthH6310, and his abominationsH8251 from between his teethH8127; and he alsoH1571 shall beH1961 a remnantH7604 for our GodH430; and he shall beH1961 as a chieftain in JudahH3063, and EkronH6138 as a JebusiteH2983.

8And I will encampH2583 about my houseH1004 against the army, that none passH5674 through or returnH7725; and no oppressorH5065 shall passH5674 through them any more: for nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with mine eyesH5869.

9RejoiceH1523 greatly, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy kingH4428 cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and ridingH7392 upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10And I will cutH3772 off the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669, and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389; and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cutH3772 off; and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the nationsH1471: and his dominion shall be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776.

11As for thee alsoH1571, because of the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have set free thy prisonersH615 from the pitH953 wherein is no waterH4325. 12TurnH7725 you to the stronghold, ye prisonersH615 of hopeH8615: even to-day do I declareH5046 that I will render doubleH4932 unto thee. 13For I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, I have filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669; and I will stirH5782 up thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, against thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and will makeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mightyH1368 manH1368. 14And Jehovah shall be seenH7200 over them; and his arrowH2671 shall goH1980 forthH3318 as the lightningH1300; and the Lord Jehovah will blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and will goH1980 with whirlwinds of the southH8486. 15Jehovah of hostsH6635 will defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drinkH8354, and make a noise as through wineH3196; and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, like the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196. 16And Jehovah their GodH430 will saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his peopleH5971; for they shall be as the stonesH68 of a crownH5145, lifted on high over his landH127. 17For howH4100 great is his goodnessH2898, and howH4100 great is his beautyH3308! grainH1715 shall make the youngH970 menH970 flourish, and newH8492 wineH8492 the virginsH1330.
