Zechariah 9:1–9
1A revelation. The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus— for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD—↗
2and Hamath, also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.↗
3Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.↗
4Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.↗
5Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.↗
6Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.↗
7I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.↗
8I will encamp around my house against the army, that no one pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.↗
9Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.↗
