Israel Defended Against Enemies
Against the land of Hadrach,
And aDamascus its resting place
(For bthe eyes of men
And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);
And against bTyre and cSidon, though they are very dwise.
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
He will destroy bher power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And aEkron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
Because of the army,
Because of him who passes by and him who returns.
No more shall an oppressor pass through them,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
The Coming King
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, byour King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The bbattle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be c‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’
God Will Save His People
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your aprisoners free from the waterless pit.
aYou prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore bdouble to you.
