[1] A revelation.
Yahweh’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 Yahweh—
[2] and Hamath, also, which borders on it,
Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
[3] Tyre built herself a stronghold,
and heaped up silver like the dust,
and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
[4] Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,
and he will strike her power in the sea;
and she will be devoured with fire. [5] Ashkelon 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.
[6] Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
[7] I 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.
[8] I 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. [9] Rejoice 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.
[10] I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the horse from Jerusalem.
The battle bow will be cut off;
and he will speak peace to the nations.
His dominion will be from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth. [11] As for you also,
because of the blood of your covenant,
I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
[12] Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope!
Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
[13] For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me.
I have loaded the bow with Ephraim.
I will stir up your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,
and will make you like the sword of a mighty man. [14] Yahweh will be seen over them.
His arrow will flash like lightning.
The Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,
and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
[15] Yahweh of Armies will defend them.
They will destroy and overcome with sling stones.
They will drink, and roar as through wine.
They will be filled like bowls,
like the corners of the altar. [16] Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;
for they are like the jewels of a crown,
lifted on high over his land.
[17] For how great is his goodness,
and how great is his beauty!
Grain will make the young men flourish,
and new wine the virgins.
King James Version

Look to the Lord

[1] The burden H4853 of the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 in the land H776 of Hadrach, H2317 and Damascus H1834 shall be the rest H4496 thereof: when the eyes H5869 of man, H120 as of all the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 shall be toward the Lord. H3068 [2] And Hamath H2574 also H1571 shall border H1379 thereby; Tyrus, H6865 and Zidon, H6721 though it be very H3966 wise. H2449 [3] And Tyrus H6865 did build H1129 herself a strong hold, H4692 and heaped up H6651 silver H3701 as the dust, H6083 and fine gold H2742 as the mire H2916 of the streets. H2351 [4] Behold, the Lord H136 will cast her out, H3423 and he will smite H5221 her power H2428 in the sea; H3220 and she shall be devoured H398 with fire. H784 [5] Ashkelon H831 shall see H7200 it, and fear; H3372 Gaza H5804 also shall see it, and be very H3966 sorrowful, H2342 and Ekron; H6138 for H3588 her expectation H4007 shall be ashamed; H3001 and the king H4428 shall perish H6 from Gaza, H5804 and Ashkelon H831 shall H3427 not H3808 be inhabited. H3427 [6] And a bastard H4464 shall dwell H3427 in Ashdod, H795 and I will cut off H3772 the pride H1347 of the Philistines. H6430 [7] And I will take away H5493 his blood H1818§ out of his mouth, H6310 and his abominations H8251 from between his teeth: H8127 but he that remaineth, H7604 even he, shall be for our God, H430 and he shall be as a governor H441 in Judah, H3063 and Ekron H6138 as a Jebusite. H2983 [8] And I will encamp H2583 about mine house H1004 because of the army, H4675 because of him that passeth by, H5674 and because of him that returneth: H7725 and no oppressor H5065 shall pass through H5674 them any more: for now have I seen H7200 with mine eyes. H5869

The King of Peace

[9] Rejoice H1523 greatly, H3966 O daughter H1323 of Zion; H6726 shout, H7321 O daughter H1323 of Jerusalem: H3389 behold, thy King H4428 cometh H935 unto thee: he is just, H6662 and having salvation; H3467§ lowly, H6041 and riding H7392 upon H5921 an ass, H2543 and upon a colt H5895 the foal H1121 of an ass. H860 [10] And I will cut off H3772 the chariot H7393 from Ephraim, H669 and the horse H5483 from Jerusalem, H3389 and the battle H4421 bow H7198 shall be cut off: H3772 and he shall speak H1696 peace H7965 unto H5704 the heathen: H1471 and his dominion H4915 shall be from sea H3220 even to sea, H3220 and from the river H5104 even to the ends H657 of the earth. H776 [11] As for thee also, by the blood H1818 of thy covenant H1285§ I have sent forth H7971 thy prisoners H615 out of the pit H953 wherein is no water. H4325 [12] Turn H7725 you to the strong hold, H1225 ye prisoners H615 of hope: H8615 even H1571 to day H3117 do I declare H5046 that I will render H7725 double H4932 unto thee; [13] when I have bent H1869 Judah H3063 for H3588 me, filled H4390 the bow H7198 with Ephraim, H669 and raised up H5782 thy sons, H1121 O Zion, H6726 against H5921 thy sons, H1121 O Greece, H3120 and made H7760 thee as the sword H2719 of a mighty man. H1368 [14] And the Lord H3068 shall be seen H7200 over H5921 them, and his arrow H2671 shall go forth H3318 as the lightning: H1300 and the Lord H136 God H3069 shall blow H8628 the trumpet, H7782 and shall go H1980 with whirlwinds H5591 of the south. H8486

He Will Save His People

[15] The Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 shall defend H1598 them; and they shall devour, H398 and subdue H3533 with sling H7050 stones; H68§ and they shall drink, H8354 and make a noise H1993 as through wine; H3196 and they shall be filled H4390 like bowls, H4219§ and as the corners H2106 of the altar. H4196 [16] And the Lord H3068 their God H430 shall save H3467 them in that day H3117 as the flock H6629 of his people: H5971 for they shall be as the stones H68 of a crown, H5145 lifted up as an ensign H5264 upon H5921 his land. H127 [17] For how great is his goodness, H2898 and how great is his beauty! H3308 corn H1715 shall make the young men H970 cheerful, H5107§ and new wine H8492 the maids. H1330
