1 The1 burden of the word of the Lord
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);
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);
2 Also against aHamath, which borders on it,
And against bTyre and cSidon, though they are very dwise.
And against bTyre and cSidon, though they are very dwise.
3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, athe Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy bher power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.
He will destroy bher power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
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.
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.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
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.
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.
