* The burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and of Damascus , his rest , because the eyes of the men and of all the tribes of Israel [are turned ] toward the LORD . * And Hamath also shall come to an end in her ; Tyre , and Zidon , though it be very wise . * And Tyre built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver as the dust and fine gold as the mire of the streets . * Behold , the Lord will impoverish her , and he will smite her power in the sea ; and she shall be devoured with fire . * Ashkelon shall see [it ] and fear ; Gaza also [shall see it ] and be very sorrowful , and Ekron for her hope shall be confounded ; and the king shall perish from Gaza , and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited . * And a stranger shall dwell in Ashdod , and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines . * And I will take away his blood out of his mouth , and his abominations from between his teeth , but some of them shall remain for our God , and they shall be as captains in Judah , and Ekron as the Jebusite . * And I will be the defence and firm support to my house from him that comes and goes ; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more , for now I have seen with my eyes . * Rejoice greatly , O daughter of Zion ; [shout with ] joy , O daughter of Jerusalem ; behold , thy King shall come unto thee : just , and a saviour ; humble , and riding upon an ass , even upon a colt the foal of an ass . * And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem , and the battle bow shall be broken and he shall speak peace unto the Gentiles ; and his dominion [shall be ] from sea [even ] to sea , and from the river [even ] to the ends of the earth . * As for thee also , by the blood of thy covenant I have taken thy prisoners out of the pit in which [there is ] no water . * Return to the strong hold , ye prisoners of hope ; even today I declare [that ] I will render double unto thee ; * for I have bent Judah for me [as a ] bow , and I made Ephraim his arrow , and I will raise up thy sons , O Zion , against thy sons , O Greece , and make thee as the sword of a mighty man . * And the LORD shall be seen over them , and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning : and the Lord GOD shall blow the shofar and shall go forth as [the ] whirlwinds of the south . * The LORD of the hosts shall defend them ; and they shall devour and subdue with sling stones ; and they shall drink [and ] make a noise as though [drunk ] with wine ; and they shall be filled like bowls [and ] as the corners of the altar . * And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as a flock of his people , for they [shall be as ] the stones of a crown , lifted up as an ensign upon his land . * For how great [is ] his goodness , and how great [is ] his beauty ! The wheat shall make the young men cheerful , and the wine the maids .:
