1 The bur­den of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Dam­as­cus shall be the rest there­of: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Is­rael, shall be to­ward the LORD. 2 And Hamath also shall bor­der there­by; Tyrus, and Zi­don, though it be very wise. 3 And Tyrus did build her­self a strong hold, and heaped up sil­ver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Be­hold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her pow­er in the sea; and she shall be de­voured with fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sor­row­ful, and Ekron; for her ex­pec­ta­tion shall be ashamed; and the king shall per­ish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be in­hab­it­ed. 6 And a bas­tard shall dwell in Ash­dod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abom­i­na­tions from be­tween his teeth: but he that re­maineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a gov­er­nor in Ju­dah, and Ekron as a Je­busite. 8 And I will en­camp about mine house be­cause of the army, be­cause of him that pas­seth by, and be­cause of him that re­tur­neth: and no op­pres­sor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes. 9 Re­joice great­ly, O daugh­ter of Zion; shout, O daugh­ter of Jerusalem: be­hold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and hav­ing sal­va­tion; low­ly, and rid­ing upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the char­i­ot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bat­tle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the hea­then: and his do­min­ion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the riv­er even to the ends of the earth. 11 As for thee al­so, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy pris­on­ers out of the pit where­in is no wa­ter. 12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye pris­on­ers of hope: even to day do I de­clare that I will ren­der dou­ble unto thee; 13 When I have bent Ju­dah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his ar­row shall go forth as the light­ning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trum­pet, and shall go with whirl­winds of the south. 15 The LORD of hosts shall de­fend them; and they shall de­vour, and sub­due with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the cor­ners of the al­tar. 16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his peo­ple: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lift­ed up as an en­sign upon his land. 17 For how great is his good­ness, and how great is his beau­ty! corn shall make the young men cheer­ful, and new wine the maids.
