Against the land of Hadrach,
And aDamascus its resting place

And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);
Against the land of Hadrach,
And aDamascus its resting place

And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);

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.

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.
8 aI will camp around My house
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.
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
9 “Rejoice agreatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, byour King is coming to you;

Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
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.’
