Zechariah 9:1-8

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.
