² And ^(B)Hamath also, which borders on it;
^(C)Tyre and ^(D)Sidon, ^[b]though ^[c]they are ^(E)very wise.
³ For Tyre built herself a ^(F)fortress
And ^(G)piled up silver like dust,
And ^(H)gold like the mire of the streets.
⁴ Behold, the Lord will ^(I)dispossess her
And cast her wealth into the sea;
And she will be ^(J)consumed with fire.
⁵ Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, for her expectation has been confounded.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
⁶ And a ^[d]mongrel race will dwell in ^(K)Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
⁷ And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a ^[e]clan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
⁸ But I will camp around My house ^[f]because of an army,
Because of ^(L)him who passes by and returns;
And ^(M)no oppressor will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
^9 (N)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your ^(O)king is coming to you;
He is ^[g](P)just and ^(Q)endowed with salvation,
^(R)Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a ^(S)colt, the ^[h]foal of a donkey.
¹⁰ I will ^(T)cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the ^(U)horse from Jerusalem;
And the ^(V)bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak ^(W)peace to the nations;
And His ^(X)dominion will be from sea to sea,
And from the ^[i]River to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ As for you also, because of the ^(Y)blood of My covenant with you,
I have set your ^(Z)prisoners free from the ^[j]waterless pit.
¹² Return to the ^[k](AA)stronghold, O prisoners ^[l]who have the ^(AB)hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore ^(AC)double to you.
¹³ For I will ^(AD)bend Judah ^[m]as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O ^(AE)Greece;
And I will make you like a ^(AF)warrior’s sword.
¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear ^(AG)over them,
And His ^(AH)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord ^[n]God will blow the ^(AI)trumpet,
And will march in the ^(AJ)storm winds of the south.
^15 (AK)The Lord of hosts will defend them.
And they will ^(AL)devour and trample on the ^(AM)sling stones;
And they will drink and be ^(AN)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the ^(AO)corners of the altar.
¹⁶ And the Lord their God will ^(AP)save them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a ^(AQ)crown,
^[o]Sparkling in His land.
¹⁷ For what ^[p](AR)comeliness and ^(AS)beauty will be ^[q]theirs!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
