Zechariah 9

1The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 upon the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be itsH3605 restingH4496 placeH4496: for the eyeH5869 of manH120 and of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 is toward the LORDH3068: 2and HamathH2574 also which bordereth thereon: TyreH6865 and Zidon, becauseH3588 sheH3588 is veryH3966 wiseH2449. 3And TyreH6865 did buildH1129 herself a strong hold, and heaped upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and fineH3701 goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. 4BeholdH2009, the LordH136 will dispossessH3423 herH398, and he will smiteH5221 herH398 powerH2428 in the seaH3220; and sheH1931 shall be devouredH398 with fireH784. 5AshkelonH831 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372; GazaH5804 also, and shall be sore pained; and EkronH6138, for herH7200 expectationH4007 shall be ashamedH954: and the kingH4428 shall perishH6 from GazaH5804, and AshkelonH831 shall notH3808 be inhabitedH3427. 6And a bastard shall dwellH3427 in AshdodH795, and I will cutH3772 offH3772 the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430. 7And I will takeH5493 awayH5493 his bloodH1818 outH7604 of his mouthH6310, and his abominationsH8251 from betweenH996 his teethH8127; and he also shall be a remnantH7604 for our GodH430: and he shall be as a chieftain in JudahH3063, and EkronH6138 as a JebusiteH2983. 8And I will encampH2583 aboutH5921 mine houseH1004 againstH5921 the armyH4675, that noneH3808 passH5674 throughH5674 or returnH7725: and noH3808 oppressorH5065 shall passH5674 throughH5674 them anyH5750 moreH5750: for nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with mine eyesH5869. 9RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: beholdH2009, thy kingH4428 cometh unto thee: he is justH6662, and havingH4428 salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 uponH5921 an ass, evenH5921 uponH5921 a coltH5895 the foalH5895 of an ass. 10And I will cutH3772 offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669, and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389, and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cutH3772 offH3772; and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the nationsH1471: and his dominion shall be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776. 11As for thee also, because of the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have sentH7971 forthH7971 thy prisonersH615 outH7971 of the pitH953 wherein is noH369 waterH4325. 12TurnH7725 youH3117 to the strong hold, ye prisonersH615 of hopeH8615: evenH1571 todayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 unto thee. 13For I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for meH5921, I have filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669; and I will stirH5782 upH5921 thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, againstH5921 thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and will makeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mightyH1368 manH1368. 14And the LORDH3068 shall be seenH7200 over them, and his arrowH2671 shall goH1980 forthH3318 as the lightningH1300: and the LordH3068 GODH3068 shall blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and shall goH1980 with whirlwinds of the southH8486. 15The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and shall treadH3533 downH8354 the sling stonesH68; and they shall drinkH8354, and makeH1993 a noise as throughH5921 wineH3196: and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, like the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196. 16And the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his peopleH5971: for they shall be as the stonesH68 of a crownH5145, lifted on high over his landH127. 17For howH4100 great is his goodnessH2898, and howH4100 great is his beautyH3308! corn shall makeH3588 the youngH970 menH970 flourishH5107, and newH8492 wineH8492 the maids.
