2 Also Hamath, which borders on it— along with Tyre and Sidon— indeed they are very wise. 3 |Tyre built itself a fortification, hoarding silver like dust and pure gold like mud in a street. 4 Look! The Lord will evict her, striking at her power in the sea, and she will be consumed by fire. 5 Ashkelon will see it happen and will be terrified; Gaza will tremble greatly. Ekron will be ashamed of her expectations, Gaza's king will perish, and Ashkelon will become uninhabited. 6 A strange people will inhabit Ashdod, and I will eliminate the arrogance of Philistia. 7 I will remove the blood from its mouth, along with its abominations from between its teeth. Its survivors will be dedicated to our God; It will be like a clan of Judah, and Ekron will be as a Jebusite. Zechariah 9:2-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
