Chapter 9 |
1 | The burden of the word of the LORD in the
land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes
of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. |
2 | And Hamath also shall border thereby;
Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. |
3 |
And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the
dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. |
4 | Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he
will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. |
5
| Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be
very sorrowful, 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 abominations from
between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God,
and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. |
8 | And I will encamp about mine house because
of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that
returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now
have I seen with mine eyes. |
9 |
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:
behold, thy 1King cometh unto
thee: he is just, and having salvation;
2lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a
colt the foal of an ass.

10 |
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and
the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and
his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends
of the earth. |
11 |
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners
out of the pit wherein is no water. |
12 | Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners
of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; |
13 |
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up
thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a
mighty man. |
14 | And the LORD shall be seen over them, and
his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow
the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. |
15 | The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and
they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink,
and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls,
and as the corners of the altar. |
16 | And
the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his
people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an
ensign upon his land. |
17 | For
how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make
the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. |
