The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of Hadrach,H2317 and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 thereof: whenH3588 the eyesH5869 of man,H120 as of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of Israel,H3478 shall be toward the LORD.H3068
2
And HamathH2574 alsoH1571 shall borderH1379 thereby; Tyrus,H6865 and Zidon,H6721 thoughH3588 it be veryH3966 wise.H2449
3
And TyrusH6865 did buildH1129 herself a strongH4692 hold,H4692 and heapedH6651 up silverH3701 as the dust,H6083 and fine goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streets.H2351
4
Behold,H2009 the LORDH136 will castH3423 her out, 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 shall see it, and be veryH3966 sorrowful,H2342 and Ekron;H6138 for her expectationH4007 shall be ashamed;H954 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 cutH3772 off the prideH1347 of the Philistines.H6430
7
And I will takeH5493 awayH5493 his bloodH1818 out of his mouth,H6310 and his abominationsH8251 from betweenH996 his teeth:H8127 but he that remains,H7604 evenH1571 he, shall be for our God,H430 and he shall be as a governorH441 in Judah,H3063 and EkronH6138 as a Jebusite.H2983
8
And I will encampH2583 about my houseH1004 because of the army,H4675 because of him that passesH5674 by, and because of him that returns:H7725 and noH3808 oppressorH5065 shall passH5674 through them any more:H5750 for nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with my eyes.H5869
9
RejoiceH1523 greatly,H3966 O daughterH1323 of Zion;H6726 shout,H7321 O daughterH1323 of Jerusalem:H3389 behold,H2009 your KingH4428 comesH935 to you: he is just,H6662 and having salvation;H3467 lowly,H6041 and ridingH7392 on an ass,H2543 and on a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an ass.H860
10
And I will cutH3772 off the chariotH7393 from Ephraim,H669 and the horseH5483 from Jerusalem,H3389 and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cutH3772 off: and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 to the heathen:H1471 and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 even to sea,H3220 and from the riverH5104 even to the endsH657 of the earth.H776
11
As for you also,H1571 by the bloodH1818 of your covenantH1285 I have sentH7971 forth your prisonersH615 out of the pitH953 wherein is noH3808 water.H4325
12
TurnH7725 you to the strongH1225 hold,H1225 you prisonersH615 of hope:H8615 evenH1571 to dayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 to you;
13
WhenH3588 I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, filledH4390 the bowH7198 with Ephraim,H669 and raisedH5782 up your sons,H1121 O Zion,H6726 againstH5921 your sons,H1121 O Greece,H3120 and madeH7760 you as the swordH2719 of a mightyH1368 man.
14
And the LORDH3068 shall be seenH7200 overH5921 them, and his arrowH2671 shall goH3318 forthH3318 as the lightning:H1300 and the LORDH136 GodH3069 shall blowH8628 the trumpet,H7782 and shall goH1980 with whirlwindsH5591 of the south.H8486
15
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devour,H398 and subdueH3533 with slingH7050 stones;H68 and they shall drink,H8354 and make a noiseH6963 as through wine;H3196 and they shall be filledH4390 like bowls,H4219 and as the cornersH2106 of the altar.H4196
16
And the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his people:H5971 for they shall be as the stonesH68 of a crown,H5145 liftedH5264 up as an ensignH5264 on his land.H127
17
For howH4100 great is his goodness,H2898 and howH4100 great is his beauty!H3308 cornH1715 shall make the youngH970 men cheerful,H5107 and newH8492 wineH8492 the maids.H1330
