1The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 in the land776 of Hadrach2317, and Damascus1834 shall be the rest4496 thereof: when the eyes5869 of man120, as of all the tribes7626 of Israel3478, shall be toward the LORD3068.
2And Hamath2574 also shall border1379 thereby; Tyrus6865, and Zidon6721, though it be very3966 wise2449.
3And Tyrus6865 did build1129 herself a strong hold4692, and heaped up6651 silver3701 as the dust6083, and fine gold2742 as the mire2916 of the streets2351.
4Behold, the Lord136 will cast her out3423, and he will smite5221 her power2428 in the sea3220; and she shall be devoured398 with fire784.
5Ashkelon831 shall see7200 it, and fear3372; Gaza5804 also shall see it, and be very3966 sorrowful2342, and Ekron6138; for her expectation4007 shall be ashamed3001; and the king4428 shall perish6 from Gaza5804, and Ashkelon831 shall not be inhabited3427.
6And a bastard4464 shall dwell3427 in Ashdod795, and I will cut off3772 the pride1347 of the Philistines6430.
7And I will take away5493 his blood1818 out of his mouth6310, and his abominations8251 from between his teeth8127: but he that remaineth7604, even he, shall be for our God430, and he shall be as a governor441 in Judah3063, and Ekron6138 as a Jebusite2983.
8And I will encamp2583 about mine house1004 because of the army4675, because of him that passeth by5674, and because of him that returneth7725: and no oppressor5065 shall pass through5674 them any more: for now have I seen7200 with mine eyes5869.
9Rejoice1523 greatly3966, O daughter1323 of Zion6726; shout7321, O daughter1323 of Jerusalem3389: behold, thy King4428 cometh935 unto thee: he is just6662, and having salvation3467; lowly6041, and riding7392 upon an ass2543, and upon a colt5895 the foal1121 of an ass860.
10And I will cut off3772 the chariot7393 from Ephraim669, and the horse5483 from Jerusalem3389, and the battle4421 bow7198 shall be cut off3772: and he shall speak1696 peace7965 unto the heathen1471: and his dominion4915 shall be from sea3220 even to sea3220, and from the river5104 even to the ends657 of the earth776.
11As for thee also, by the blood1818 of thy covenant1285 I have sent forth7971 thy prisoners615 out of the pit953 wherein is no water4325.
12Turn7725 you to the strong hold1225, ye prisoners615 of hope8615: even to day3117 do I declare5046 that I will render7725 double4932 unto thee;
13When I have bent1869 Judah3063 for me, filled4390 the bow7198 with Ephraim669, and raised up5782 thy sons1121, O Zion6726, against thy sons1121, O Greece3120, and made7760 thee as the sword2719 of a mighty man1368.
14And the LORD3068 shall be seen7200 over them, and his arrow2671 shall go forth3318 as the lightning1300: and the Lord136 GOD3069 shall blow8628 the trumpet7782, and shall go1980 with whirlwinds5591 of the south8486.
15The LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall defend1598 them; and they shall devour398, and subdue3533 with sling7050 stones68; and they shall drink8354, and make a noise1993 as through wine3196; and they shall be filled4390 like bowls4219, and as the corners2106 of the altar4196.
16And the LORD3068 their God430 shall save3467 them in that day3117 as the flock6629 of his people5971: for they shall be as the stones68 of a crown5145, lifted up as an ensign5264 upon his land127.
17For how great is his goodness2898, and how great is his beauty3308! corn1715 shall make the young men970 cheerful5107, and new wine8492 the maids1330.
