Zechariah 9:1-10

1The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 in the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 thereof: when the eyesH5869 of manH120, as of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall be toward the LordH3068. 2And HamathH2574 also shall borderH1379 thereby; TyrusH6865, and ZidonH6721, though it be veryH3966 wiseH2449. 3And TyrusH6865 did buildH1129 herself a strong holdH4692, and heaped upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and fine goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. 4Behold, the LordH136 will cast her outH3423, and he will smiteH5221 her powerH2428 in the seaH3220; and she shall be devouredH398 with fireH784. 5AshkelonH831 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372; GazaH5804 also shall see it, and be veryH3966 sorrowfulH2342, and EkronH6138; for her expectationH4007 shall be ashamedH3001; and the kingH4428 shall perishH6 from GazaH5804, and AshkelonH831 shall not be inhabitedH3427. 6And a bastardH4464 shall dwellH3427 in AshdodH795, and I will cut offH3772 the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430. 7And I will take awayH5493 his bloodH1818 out of his mouthH6310, and his abominationsH8251 from between his teethH8127: but he that remainethH7604, even he, shall be for our GodH430, and he shall be as a governorH441 in JudahH3063, and EkronH6138 as a JebusiteH2983.1 8And I will encampH2583 about mine houseH1004 because of the armyH4675, because of him that passeth byH5674, and because of him that returnethH7725: and no oppressorH5065 shall pass throughH5674 them any more: for now have I seenH7200 with mine eyesH5869.

9RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 unto thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon an assH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an assH860.2 10And I will cut offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669, and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389, and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cut offH3772: and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the heathenH1471: and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 even to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 even to the endsH657 of the earthH776.
