An Oracle
The word of the Lord
is against the land of Hadrach,
and Damascus is its resting place—
for the eyes of men
and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord—
and also against Hamath, which borders it,
as well as Tyre and Sidon,
though they are very shrewd.
Tyre has built herself a fortress;
she has heaped up silver like dust
and gold like the dirt of the streets.

and cast her wealth into the sea;
she herself will be consumed by fire.

Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.

and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.

and the detestable things
from between their teeth.

they will become like a clan in Judah
and Ekron like the Jebusites.
I will set up camp at My house against an army,
against those who march back and forth,
and no oppressor will march against them again,
for now I have seen with My own eyes.
