Zechariah 9

1The burden^H4853 of the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 upon the land^H776 of Hadrach^H2317, and Damascus^H1834 shall be its resting-place^H4496 (for the eye^H5869 of man^H120 and of all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478 is toward Jehovah^H3068); 2and Hamath^H2574, also, which bordereth^H1379 thereon; Tyre^H6865 and Sidon^H6721, because they are very^H3966 wise^H2449. 3And Tyre^H6865 did build^H1129 herself a stronghold^H4692, and heaped up^H6651 silver^H3701 as the dust^H6083, and fine gold^H2742 as the mire^H2916 of the streets^H2351. 4Behold, the Lord^H136 will dispossess^H3423 her, and he will smite^H5221 her power^H2428 in the sea^H3220; and she shall be devoured^H398 with fire^H784. 5Ashkelon^H831 shall see^H7200 it, and fear^H3372; Gaza^H5804 also, and shall be sore^H3966 pained^H2342; and Ekron^H6138, for her expectation^H4007 shall be put to shame^H3001; and the king^H4428 shall perish^H6 from Gaza^H5804, and Ashkelon^H831 shall not be inhabited^H3427. 6And a bastard^H4464 shall dwell^H3427 in Ashdod^H795, and I will cut off^H3772 the pride^H1347 of the Philistines^H6430. 7And I will take away^H5493 his blood^H1818 out of his mouth^H6310, and his abominations^H8251 from between his teeth^H8127; and he also shall be a remnant^H7604 for our God^H430; and he shall be as a chieftain^H441 in Judah^H3063, and Ekron^H6138 as a Jebusite^H2983. 8And I will encamp^H2583 about my house^H1004 against the army^H4675, that none pass through^H5674 or return^H7725; and no oppressor^H5065 shall pass through^H5674 them any more: for now have I seen^H7200 with mine eyes^H5869. 9Rejoice^H1523 greatly^H3966, O daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726; shout^H7321, O daughter^H1323 of Jerusalem^H3389: behold, thy king^H4428 cometh^H935 unto thee; he is just^H6662, and having salvation^H3467; lowly^H6041, and riding^H7392 upon an ass^H2543, even upon a colt^H5895 the foal^H1121 of an ass^H860. 10And I will cut off^H3772 the chariot^H7393 from Ephraim^H669, and the horse^H5483 from Jerusalem^H3389; and the battle^H4421 bow^H7198 shall be cut off^H3772; and he shall speak^H1696 peace^H7965 unto the nations^H1471: and his dominion^H4915 shall be from sea^H3220 to sea^H3220, and from the River^H5104 to the ends^H657 of the earth^H776. 11As for thee also, because of the blood^H1818 of thy covenant^H1285 I have set free^H7971 thy prisoners^H615 from the pit^H953 wherein is no water^H4325. 12Turn^H7725 you to the stronghold^H1225, ye prisoners^H615 of hope^H8615: even to-day^H3117 do I declare^H5046 that I will render^H7725 double^H4932 unto thee. 13For I have bent^H1869 Judah^H3063 for me, I have filled^H4390 the bow^H7198 with Ephraim^H669; and I will stir up^H5782 thy sons^H1121, O Zion^H6726, against thy sons^H1121, O Greece^H3120, and will make^H7760 thee as the sword^H2719 of a mighty man^H1368. 14And Jehovah^H3068 shall be seen^H7200 over them; and his arrow^H2671 shall go forth^H3318 as the lightning^H1300; and the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 will blow^H8628 the trumpet^H7782, and will go^H1980 with whirlwinds^H5591 of the south^H8486. 15Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 will defend^H1598 them; and they shall devour^H398, and shall tread down^H3533 the sling^H7050-stones^H68; and they shall drink^H8354, and make a noise^H1993 as through wine^H3196; and they shall be filled^H4390 like bowls^H4219, like the corners^H2106 of the altar^H4196. 16And Jehovah^H3068 their God^H430 will save^H3467 them in that day^H3117 as the flock^H6629 of his people^H5971; for they shall be as the stones^H68 of a crown^H5145, lifted on high^H5264 over his land^H127. 17For how great is his goodness^H2898, and how great is his beauty^H3308! grain^H1715 shall make the young men^H970 flourish^H5107, and new wine^H8492 the virgins^H1330.
