Zechariah 9:1 The burden4853{Or, oracle} of the word1697 of Jehovah3068 upon the land776 of Hadrach,2317 and Damascus1834shallbe its resting-place4496 (for the{Or, Jehovah hath an eye upon men and upon all the tribe of Israel} eye5869 of man120 and of all the tribes7626 of Israel3478 is toward Jehovah);30682 and Hamath,2574 also, which bordereth1379 thereon; Tyre6865 and Sidon,6721 because{Or, though} they are very3966 wise.24493 And Tyre6865 did build1129 herself a stronghold,4692 and heaped up6651 silver3701 as the dust,6083 and fine gold2742 as the mire2916 of the streets.23514 Behold, the Lord136 will dispossess3423 her, and he will smite5221 her{Or, the sea which is her rampart. Or, her rampart into the sea} power2428 in the sea;3220 and she shall be devoured398 with fire.7845 Ashkelon831 shall see7200 it, and fear;3372 Gaza5804 also, and shall be sore3966 pained;2342 and Ekron,6138 for her expectation4007 shall be put to shame;3001 and the king4428 shall perish6 from Gaza,5804 and Ashkelon831 shall not be inhabited.34276 And a{Or, a bastard race} bastard4464 shall dwell3427{Or, sit as king} in Ashdod,795 and I will cut off3772 the pride1347 of the Philistines.64307 And I will take away5493 his blood1818 out of his mouth,6310 and his abominations8251 from between his teeth;8127 and he also shall be a remnant7604 for our God;430 and he shall be as a chieftain441 in Judah,3063 and Ekron6138 as a Jebusite.2983
Zechariah 9:8 And I will encamp2583 about my house1004 against{Or, as otherwise read, as a garrison} the army,4675 that none pass through5674 or return;7725 and no oppressor5065{Or, exactor} shall pass through5674 them any more: for now have I seen7200 with mine eyes.5869
Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice1523 greatly,3966 O daughter1323 of Zion;6726 shout,7321 O daughter1323 of Jerusalem:3389 behold, thy king4428 cometh935 unto thee; he is just,6662 and having{Hebrew saved.} salvation;3467{Or, victory} lowly,6041 and riding7392 upon an ass,2543 even upon a colt5895 the foal1121 of an ass.86010 And I will cut off3772 the chariot7393 from Ephraim,669 and the horse5483 from Jerusalem;3389 and the battle4421 bow7198 shall be cut off;3772 and he shall speak1696 peace7965 unto the nations:1471 and his dominion4915 shall be from sea3220 to sea,3220 and from the River5104 to the ends657 of the earth.776
Zechariah 9:11 As for thee also, because of the blood1818 of thy covenant1285 I have set free7971 thy prisoners615 from the pit953 wherein is no water.432512 Turn7725{Or, Return} you to the stronghold,1225 ye prisoners615 of hope:8615 even to-day3117 do I declare5046 that I will render7725 double unto thee.493213 For I have bent1869 Judah3063 for me, I have filled4390 the bow7198 with Ephraim;669 and I will stir up5782 thy sons,1121 O Zion,6726 against thy sons,1121 O Greece,3120{Hebrew Javan.} and will make7760 thee as the sword2719 of a mighty man.136814 And Jehovah3068 shall be seen7200 over them; and his arrow2671 shall go forth3318 as the lightning;1300 and the Lord136 Jehovah3069 will blow8628 the trumpet,7782 and will go1980 with whirlwinds5591 of the south.848615 Jehovah3068 of hosts6635 will defend1598 them; and they shall devour,398 and shall tread down3533 the sling-stones;68 and they shall drink,8354 and make a noise1993 as through wine;3196 and they shall be filled4390 like bowls,4219 like the corners2106 of the altar.419616 And Jehovah3068 their God430 will save3467 them in that day3117 as the flock6629 of his people;5971 for theyshallbeas the stones68 of a crown,5145 lifted{Or, glittering upon etc.} on high5264 over his land.12717 For how great is his{Or, their} goodness,2898{Or, prosperity} and how great is his{Or, their} beauty!3308 grain1715 shall make the young men970 flourish,5107 and new wine8492 the virgins.1330
