1 THE word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and against Damascus, which shall be a gift to him; for to the LORD are revealed the ways of men and of all the tribes of Israel; 2 Against Hamath also which borders Damascus, and Tyre and Sidon, though they have become very wise. 3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the mire of the streets. 4 Therefore, the LORD will destroy her and cast her wealth into the sea; and she shall be devoured by fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it and be afraid; Gaza also shall be very sorrowful, and Ekron; because her hope is confounded; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 6 And strangers shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will bring to an end the pride of the Philistines. 7 And I will take away their blood out of their mouths, and their abominations from between their teeth; and they also shall be a remnant for our God, and they shall be like the princes of Judah, and Ekron shall be as a Jebusite.
