Zechariah 9:1–8

¹The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to Jehovah is the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.) ²And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for—very wise! ³And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places. ⁴Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed. ⁵See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain, ⁶And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines. ⁷And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite. ⁸And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.
