Zechariah 9:1-8 - Judgment Of Zion's Enemies
1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, - For, Yahweh, hath an eye - to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel; 2 Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, - because very wise; 3 Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, - and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes. 4 Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, - and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed. 5 Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, - and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited; 6 And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, - So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines; 7 And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, - So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite! 8 Then will I encamp about my house - against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, - for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
