Zechariah
Chapter 9
|
1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 in the land776 of Hadrach,2317 and Damascus1834 shall be the rest4496 thereof: when3588 the eyes5869 of man,120 as of all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 shall be toward the LORD.3068
|
2 And Hamath2574 also1571 shall border1379 thereby; Tyrus,6865 and Zidon,6721 though3588 it be very3966 wise.2449
|
3 And Tyrus6865 did build1129 herself a strong4692 hold,4692 and heaped6651 up silver3701 as the dust,6083 and fine gold2742 as the mire2916 of the streets.2351
|
4 Behold,2009 the LORD136 will cast3423 her out, and he will smite5221 her power2428 in the sea;3220 and she shall be devoured398 with fire.784
|
5 Ashkelon831 shall see7200 it, and fear;3372 Gaza5804 also shall see it, and be very3966 sorrowful,2342 and Ekron;6138 for her expectation4007 shall be ashamed;954 and the king4428 shall perish6 from Gaza,5804 and Ashkelon831 shall not be inhabited.3427
|
6 And a bastard4464 shall dwell3427 in Ashdod,795 and I will cut3772 off the pride1347 of the Philistines.6430
|
7 And I will take5493 away5493 his blood1818 out of his mouth,6310 and his abominations8251 from between996 his teeth:8127 but he that remains,7604 even1571 he, shall be for our God,430 and he shall be as a governor441 in Judah,3063 and Ekron6138 as a Jebusite.2983
|
8 And I will encamp2583 about my house1004 because of the army,4675 because of him that passes5674 by, and because of him that returns:7725 and no3808 oppressor5065 shall pass5674 through them any more:5750 for now6258 have I seen7200 with my eyes.5869
|
9 Rejoice1523 greatly,3966 O daughter1323 of Zion;6726 shout,7321 O daughter1323 of Jerusalem:3389 behold,2009 your King4428 comes935 to you: he is just,6662 and having salvation;3467 lowly,6041 and riding7392 on an ass,2543 and on a colt5895 the foal1121 of an ass.860
|
10 And I will cut3772 off the chariot7393 from Ephraim,669 and the horse5483 from Jerusalem,3389 and the battle4421 bow7198 shall be cut3772 off: and he shall speak1696 peace7965 to the heathen:1471 and his dominion4915 shall be from sea3220 even to sea,3220 and from the river5104 even to the ends657 of the earth.776
|
11 As for you also,1571 by the blood1818 of your covenant1285 I have sent7971 forth your prisoners615 out of the pit953 wherein is no3808 water.4325
|
12 Turn7725 you to the strong1225 hold,1225 you prisoners615 of hope:8615 even1571 to day3117 do I declare5046 that I will render7725 double4932 to you;
|
13 When3588 I have bent1869 Judah3063 for me, filled4390 the bow7198 with Ephraim,669 and raised5782 up your sons,1121 O Zion,6726 against5921 your sons,1121 O Greece,3120 and made7760 you as the sword2719 of a mighty1368 man.
|
14 And the LORD3068 shall be seen7200 over5921 them, and his arrow2671 shall go3318 forth3318 as the lightning:1300 and the LORD136 God3069 shall blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and shall go1980 with whirlwinds5591 of the south.8486
|
15 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall defend1598 them; and they shall devour,398 and subdue3533 with sling7050 stones;68 and they shall drink,8354 and make a noise6963 as through wine;3196 and they shall be filled4390 like bowls,4219 and as the corners2106 of the altar.4196
|
16 And the LORD3068 their God430 shall save3467 them in that day3117 as the flock6629 of his people:5971 for they shall be as the stones68 of a crown,5145 lifted5264 up as an ensign5264 on his land.127
|
17 For how4100 great is his goodness,2898 and how4100 great is his beauty!3308 corn1715 shall make the young970 men cheerful,5107 and new8492 wine8492 the maids.1330
