1 The burden of the word of the LORD. In the land of Hadrach, And in Damascus shall be His resting-place; For the LORD'S is the eye of man And all the tribes of Israel. 2 And Hamath also shall border thereon; Tyre and Zidon, for she is very wise. 3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, And heaped up silver as the dust, And fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her, And He will smite her power into the sea; And she shall be devoured with fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be sore pained, 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 detestable things from between his teeth, And he also shall be a remnant for our God; And he shall be as a chief in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite. Zechariah 9:1-7, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
