Zechariah 9:1-10

1This is the burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against the landH776 of HadrachH2317 and DamascusH1834 its resting placeH4496— forH3588 the eyesH5869 of menH120 and of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 are upon the LORDH3068 1—2and alsoH1571 against HamathH2574, which bordersH1379 it, as well as TyreH6865 and SidonH6721, thoughH3588 they are veryH3966 shrewdH2449.

3TyreH6865 has builtH1129 herself a fortressH4692;she has heaped upH6651 silverH3701 like dustH6083,and goldH2742 like the dirtH2916 of the streetsH2351.4BeholdH2009, the LordH136 will impoverish herH3423and castH5221 her wealthH2428 into the seaH3220,2and sheH1931 will be consumedH398 by fireH784.

5AshkelonH831 will seeH7200 and fearH3372;GazaH5804 will writhe in agonyH3966 H2342,as will EkronH6138,forH3588 her hopeH4007 will witherH954.There will cease to beH6 a kingH4428 in GazaH5804,and AshkelonH831 will be uninhabitedH3808 H3427.6A mixed raceH4464 will occupyH3427 AshdodH795,and I will cut offH3772 the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430.7I will removeH5493 the bloodH1818 from their mouthsH6310and the abominationsH8251 from betweenH996 their teethH8127.Then theyH1931 tooH1571 will become a remnantH7604 for our GodH430;they will becomeH1961 like a clanH441 3 in JudahH3063,and EkronH6138 will be like the JebusitesH2983.8But I will camp aroundH2583 My houseH1004 because of an armyH4675,because of those who march to and froH5674 H7725,and never againH3808 H5750 will an oppressorH5065 overrunH5674 My people,forH3588 nowH6258 I keep watchH7200 with My own eyesH5869.

9RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726!Shout in triumphH7321, O DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!SeeH2009, your KingH4428 comesH935 to you,righteousH6662 and victoriousH3467,4humbleH6041 and ridingH7392 onH5921 a donkeyH2543,onH5921 a coltH5895, the foalH1121 of a donkeyH860.510And I will cut offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669 6and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389,and the bowH7198 of warH4421 will be brokenH3772.Then He will proclaimH1696 peaceH7965 to the nationsH1471.His dominion will extendH4915 from seaH3220 toH5704 seaH3220,and from the EuphratesH5104 7toH5704 the endsH657 of the earthH776.
