Zechariah 9:2-7

^{Tools
2}

And ^(A)Hamath also, which borders on it;
^(B)Tyre and ^(C)Sidon, ^(a)though ^(b)they are ^(D)very wise.

^{Tools
3}

For Tyre built herself a ^(E)fortress
And ^(F)piled up silver like dust,
And ^(G)gold like the mire of the streets.

^{Tools
4}

Behold, the Lord will ^(H)dispossess her
And cast her wealth into the sea;
And she will be ^(I)consumed with fire.

^{Tools

Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, for her expectation has been confounded.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

^{Tools

And a ^(c)mongrel race will dwell in ^(J)Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

^{Tools
7}

And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a ^(d)clan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
