\c 9

\v 1 This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning the land of Hadrach and Damascus. For Yahweh's eye is on all mankind, and also on all the tribes of Israel.
|
|
\v 2 This declaration also concerns Hamath, which borders on Damascus, and it concerns Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets.
|
|
\v 4 Look! The Lord will dispossess her and destroy her strength on the sea, so she will be devoured by fire.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will tremble greatly! Ekron, her hopes will be disappointed!
|
|
The king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall no longer be inhabited!
|
|
\v 6 Strangers will make their homes in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
|
|
\v 7 For I will remove their blood from their mouths and their abominations from between their teeth. Then they will become a remnant for our God like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.

|
\v 8 I will camp around my land against enemy armies so no one can pass through or return, for no oppressor will pass any more through it. For now I will watch over my land with my own eyes!

|
\v 9 Shout with great joy, daughter of Zion! Shout with happiness, daughter of Jerusalem!
|
|
\q Behold! Your king is coming to you with righteousness
|
|
\q and is rescuing you. He is humble and is riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Then I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow will be cut off from battle; for
|
|
he will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!
|
|

|
\s5

\p
|
|
\v 11 And you—because of the blood of my covenant with you—I have set free your prisoners from the pit where there is no water.
|
|
\v 12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you,
|
|
\v 13 for I have bent Judah as my bow. I have filled my quiver with Ephraim. I have roused your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and have made you, Zion, like a warrior's sword!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 Yahweh will appear to them, and his arrows will shoot out like lightning! For my Lord Yahweh will blow the
|
|
trumpet and will advance with the storms from Teman.
|
|
\v 15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour them and defeat the stones of the slings. Then they will drink
|
|
and shout like men drunk on wine, and they will be filled with wine like bowls at the altar, like the corners of the altar.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 16 So Yahweh their God will rescue them on that day; they will be like a flock containing his people, for they will be the jewels of a crown, raised up over his land.
|
|
\v 17 How good and how beautiful they will be! The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!
