Zechariah 9

1The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 of it: when the eyesH5869 of manH120, as of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall be toward the LORDH3068. 2And HamathH2574 also shall borderH1379 by it; TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, though it be veryH3966 wiseH2449. 3And TyreH6865 builtH1129 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 my 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 my eyesH5869.

9RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 to thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon a donkeyH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of a donkeyH860.2 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 to the heathenH1471: and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776. 11As for thee also, by the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have sent forthH7971 thy prisonersH615 out of the pitH953 in which is no waterH4325.3

12ReturnH7725 to the strong holdH1225, ye prisonersH615 of hopeH8615: even to dayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 to thee; 13When I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669, and raised upH5782 thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, against thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and madeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mighty manH1368. 14And the LORDH3068 shall be seenH7200 over them, and his arrowH2671 shall go forthH3318 as the lightningH1300: and the LordH136 GODH3069 shall blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and shall goH1980 with whirlwindsH5591 of the southH8486. 15The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and subdueH3533 the slingH7050 stonesH68; and they shall drinkH8354, and make a noiseH1993 as through wineH3196; and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, and as the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196.45 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 up as an ensignH5264 upon his landH127. 17For how great is his goodnessH2898, and how great is his beautyH3308! GrainH1715 shall make the young menH970 cheerfulH5107, and new wineH8492 the maidsH1330.6
