3 For Tyre built herself a tower, 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.
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.
6 “A1 mixed race shall settle ain Ashdod, And I will cut off the pride of the bPhilistines.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth, And the abominations from between his teeth. But he who remains, even he shallbe for our God, And shall be like a leader in Judah, And Ekron like a Jebusite.
8aI 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.
The Coming King
9 “Rejoice agreatly, O daughter of Zion! 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.
10 I awill cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem; The bbattle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shallbec‘from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.’
Ashkelon shall see it, and fear - All these prophecies seem to have been fulfilled before the days of Zechariah; another evidence that these last chapters were not written by him.
Her expectation shalt be ashamed - The expectation of being succoured by Tyre.
