Zechariah 9

New American Standard Bible 1995

Prophecies against Neighboring Nations

1The 1burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 is against the landH776 of HadrachH2317, with 2DamascusH1834 as its restingH4496 placeH4496 (for the eyesH5869 of menH120, especially of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, are toward the LordH3068),2And 3HamathH2574 alsoH1571, which bordersH1379 on it; 4TyreH6865 and 5SidonH6721, 6thoughH3588 7they are 8veryH3966 wiseH2449.3For TyreH6865 builtH1129 herself a 9fortressH4692 And 10piledH6651 up silverH3701 like dustH6083, And 11goldH2742 like the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.4BeholdH2009, the LordH136 will 12dispossessH3423 her And castH5221 her wealthH2428 into the seaH3220; And she will be 13consumedH398 with fireH784.5AshkelonH831 will seeH7200 it and be afraidH3372. GazaH5804 too will writheH2342 in greatH3966 painH2342; Also EkronH6138, for her expectationH4007 has beenH954 confoundedH954. Moreover, the kingH4428 will perishH6 from GazaH5804, And AshkelonH831 will not be inhabitedH3427.6And a 14mongrelH4464 raceH4464 will dwellH3427 in 15AshdodH795, And I will cutH3772 offH3772 the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430.7And I will removeH5493 their bloodH1818 from their mouthH6310 And their detestableH8251 thingsH8251 from betweenH996 their teethH8127. Then they alsoH1571 will be a remnantH7604 for our GodH430, And be like a 16clanH441 in JudahH3063, And EkronH6138 like a JebusiteH2983.8But I will campH2583 around My houseH1004 17becauseH4480 of an armyH4675, BecauseH4480 of 18him who passesH5674 by and returnsH7725; And 19noH3808 oppressorH5065 will passH5674 overH5921 them anymoreH5750, For nowH6258 I have seenH7200 with My eyesH5869.920RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726! ShoutH7321 in triumph, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389! BeholdH2009, your 21kingH4428 is comingH935 to you; He is 2223justH6662 and 24endowedH3467 with salvationH3467, 25HumbleH6041, and mountedH7392 on a donkeyH2543, Even on a 26coltH5895, the 27foalH1121 of a donkeyH860.10I will 28cutH3772 offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669 And the 29horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389; And the 30bowH7198 of warH4421 will be cutH3772 offH3772. And He will speakH1696 31peaceH7965 to the nationsH1471; And His 32dominionH4915 will be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, And from the 33RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776.

Deliverance of Judah and Ephraim

11As for you alsoH1571, because of the 34bloodH1818 of My covenantH1285 with you, I have setH7971 your 35prisonersH615 freeH7971 from the 36waterlessH369H4325 pitH953.12ReturnH7725 to the 3738strongholdH1225, O prisonersH615 39who have the 40hopeH8615; This veryH1571 dayH3117 I am declaringH5046 that I will restoreH7725 41doubleH4932 to you.13For I will 42bendH1869 JudahH3063 43as My bowH7198, I will fillH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669. And I will stirH5782 up your sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, againstH5921 your sonsH1121, O 44GreeceH3120; And I will makeH7760 you like a 45warrior’sH1368 swordH2719.14Then the LordH3068 will appearH7200 46overH5921 them, And His 47arrowH2671 will goH3318 forthH3318 like lightningH1300; And the LordH136 48GodH3068 will blowH8628 the 49trumpetH7782, And will marchH1980 in the 50stormH5591 windsH5591 of the southH8486.1551The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will defendH1598 them. And they will 52devourH398 and trampleH3533 on the 53slingH7050 stonesH68; And they will drinkH8354 and be 54boisterousH1993 as with wineH3196; And they will be filledH4390 like a sacrificial basinH4219, Drenched like the 55cornersH2106 of the altarH4196.16And the LordH3068 their GodH430 will 56saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 As the flockH6629 of His peopleH5971; For they are as the stonesH68 of a 57crownH5145, 58SparklingH5264 in His landH127.17For whatH4100 5960comelinessH2898 and 61beautyH3308 will be 62theirs! GrainH1715 will make the youngH970 menH970 flourishH5107, and newH8492 wineH8492 the virginsH1330.
