Zechariah 9:1-7 ▼

1 The burden of a word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh—his place of rest: (When to YHWH [is] the eye of man, || And of all the tribes of Israel).

2 And also Hamath borders thereon, || Tyre and Sidon, for—very wise!

3 And Tyre builds a bulwark for herself, || And heaps silver as dust, || And gold as mire of out-places.

4 Behold, the Lord dispossesses her, || And He has struck her force in the sea, || And she is consumed with fire.

5 Ashkelon sees and fears, || Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, || Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, || And a king has perished from Gaza, || And Ashkelon does not remain,

6 “And a foreigner has dwelt in Ashdod, || And I have cut off the excellence of the Philistines.

7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, || His abominations from between his teeth, || And he has remained, even he, to our God, || And he has been as a leader in Judah, || And Ekron as a Jebusite.
