1 T he burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of JehovahH3068 upon the landH776 of Hadrach,H2317 and DamascusH1834 [shall be] its resting-placeH4496 (for the eyeH5869 of manH120 and of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 is toward Jehovah);H3068
2 and Hamath,H2574 also, which borderethH1379 thereon; TyreH6865 and Sidon,H6721 because they are veryH3966 wise.H2449
3 And TyreH6865 did buildH1129 herself a stronghold,H4692 and heaped upH6651 silverH3701 as the dust,H6083 and fine goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streets.H2351
4 Behold, the LordH136 will dispossessH3423 her, and he will smiteH5221 her powerH2428 in the sea;H3220 and she shall be devouredH398 with fire.H784
5 AshkelonH831 shall seeH7200 it, and fear;H3372 GazaH5804 also, and shall be soreH3966 pained;H2342 and Ekron,H6138 for her expectationH4007 shall be put to shame;H3001 and the kingH4428 shall perishH6 from Gaza,H5804 and AshkelonH831 shall not be inhabited.H3427
6 And a bastardH4464 shall dwellH3427 in Ashdod,H795 and I will cut offH3772 the prideH1347 of the Philistines.H6430
7 And I will take awayH5493 his bloodH1818 out of his mouth,H6310 and his abominationsH8251 from between his teeth;H8127 and he also shall be a remnantH7604 for our God;H430 and he shall be as a chieftainH441 in Judah,H3063 and EkronH6138 as a Jebusite.H2983
8 And I will encampH2583 about my houseH1004 against the army,H4675 that none pass throughH5674 or return;H7725 and no oppressorH5065 shall pass throughH5674 them any more: for now have I seenH7200 with mine eyes.H5869
9 RejoiceH1523 greatly,H3966 O daughterH1323 of Zion;H6726 shout,H7321 O daughterH1323 of Jerusalem:H3389 behold, thy kingH4428 comethH935 unto thee; he is just,H6662 and having salvation;H3467 lowly,H6041 and ridingH7392 upon an ass,H2543 even upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an ass.H860
10 And I will cut offH3772 the chariotH7393 from Ephraim,H669 and the horseH5483 from Jerusalem;H3389 and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cut off;H3772 and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the nations:H1471 and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 to sea,H3220 and from the RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earth.H776
11 As for thee also, because of the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have set freeH7971 thy prisonersH615 from the pitH953 wherein is no water.H4325
12 TurnH7725 you to the stronghold,H1225 ye prisonersH615 of hope:H8615 even to-dayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 unto thee.
13 For I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, I have filledH4390 the bowH7198 with Ephraim;H669 and I will stir upH5782 thy sons,H1121 O Zion,H6726 against thy sons,H1121 O Greece,H3120 and will makeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mighty man.H1368
14 And JehovahH3068 shall be seenH7200 over them; and his arrowH2671 shall go forthH3318 as the lightning;H1300 and the LordH136 JehovahH3069 will blowH8628 the trumpet,H7782 and will goH1980 with whirlwindsH5591 of the south.H8486
15 JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635 will defendH1598 them; and they shall devour,H398 and shall tread downH3533 the sling -H7050 stones;H68 and they shall drink,H8354 and make a noiseH1993 as through wine;H3196 and they shall be filledH4390 like bowls,H4219 like the cornersH2106 of the altar.H4196
16 And JehovahH3068 their GodH430 will saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his people;H5971 for [they shall be as] the stonesH68 of a crown,H5145 lifted on highH5264 over his land.H127
17 For how great is his goodness,H2898 and how great is his beauty!H3308 grainH1715 shall make the young menH970 flourish,H5107 and new wineH8492 the virgins.H1330
