Zechariah 9

New American Standard Bible 2020

Prophecies against Neighboring Nations

1The pronouncementH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 is against the landH776 of HadrachH2317, with 1DamascusH1834 as its restingH4496 placeH4496 (for the eyesH5869 of mankindH120, especially of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, are toward the LordH3068),2And 2HamathH2574 alsoH1571, which bordersH1379 on it; 3TyreH6865 and 4SidonH6721, 5thoughH3588 6they areH2449 7veryH3966 wiseH2449.3For TyreH6865 builtH1129 herself a 8fortressH4692, And 9piledH6651 upH6651 silverH3701 like dustH6083, And 10goldH2742 like the mudH2916 of the streetsH2351.4BeholdH2009, the LordH136 will 11dispossessH3423 her And throwH5221 her wealthH2428 into the seaH3220; And she will be 12consumedH398 with fireH784.5AshkelonH831 will seeH7200 it and beH3372 afraidH3372. GazaH5804 too will writheH2342 inH2342 greatH3966 painH2342; Also EkronH6138, becauseH3588 her hopeH4007 has been ruinedH954. Moreover, the kingH4428 will perishH6 from GazaH5804, And AshkelonH831 will not be inhabitedH3427.6And a people of mixedH4464 originsH4464 will liveH3427 in 13AshdodH795, And I will eliminateH3772 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 beH7604 aH7604 remnantH7604 for our GodH430, And be like a 14clanH505 in JudahH3063, And EkronH6138 will be like a JebusiteH2983.8But I will campH2583 around My houseH1004 15becauseH4480 of an armyH4675, BecauseH4480 of 16him who passesH5674 byH5674 and returnsH7725; And 17noH3808 oppressorH5065 will passH5674 overH5921 them anymoreH5750, For nowH6258 I have seenH7200 with My eyesH5869.918RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726! ShoutH7321 in triumph, daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389! BeholdH2009, your 19kingH4428 is comingH935 to you; He is 2021righteousH6662 and 22endowedH3467 withH3467 salvationH3467, 23HumbleH6041, and mountedH7392 on a donkeyH2543, Even on a 24coltH5895, the 25foalH1121 of a donkeyH860.10And I will 26eliminateH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669 And the 27horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389; And the 28bowH7198 of warH4421 will be eliminatedH3772. And He will speakH1696 29peaceH7965 to the nationsH1471; And His 30dominionH4915 will be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, And from the Euphrates RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776.

Restoration of Judah and Ephraim

11As for you alsoH1571, because of the 31bloodH1818 of My covenantH1285 with you, I have setH7971 your 32prisonersH615 freeH7971 from the 33waterlessH369H4325 pitH953.12ReturnH7725 to the 3435strongholdH1225, you prisonersH615 36who have the 37hopeH8615; This veryH1571 dayH3117 I am declaringH5046 that I will restoreH7725 38doubleH4932 to you.13For I will 39bendH1869 JudahH3063 40as My bowH7198, I will fillH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669. And I will stirH5782 upH5782 your sonsH1121, ZionH6726, againstH5921 your sonsH1121, 41GreeceH3120; And I will makeH7760 you like a 42warrior’sH1368 swordH2719.14Then the LordH3068 will appearH7200 43overH5921 them, And His 44arrowH2671 will goH3318 forthH3318 like lightningH1300; And the LordH136 45GodH3068 will blowH8628 the 46trumpetH7782, And marchH1980 in the 47stormH5591 windsH5591 of the southH8486.1548The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will protectH1598 them. And they will 49devourH398 and trampleH3533 on the 50slingstonesH7050H68; And they will drinkH8354 and beH1993 51boisterousH1993 as with wineH3196; And they will be filledH4390 like a sacrificial basinH4219, Drenched like the 52cornersH2106 of the altarH4196.16And the LordH3068 their GodH430 will 53saveH3467 them on that dayH3117 As the flockH6629 of His peopleH5971; For they are like the precious stonesH68 of a 54crownH5145, SparklingH5340 on His landH127.17For howH4100 greatH4100 will 55their 56lovelinessH2898 and 57beautyH3308 be! GrainH1715 will make the youngH970 menH970 flourishH5107, and newH8492 wineH8492, the virginsH1330.
