Zechariah 9:1-8

Modern English Version

9 An oracle of the word of the Lord that is against the land of Hadrak,
    and Damascus is the place where it will rest.
For the eyes of men and the tribes of Israel
    are on the Lord.
² Also Hamath borders it,
    even Tyre and Sidon, cities that are very wise.
³ Tyre has built a rampart for herself
    and stored up silver like it were dust,
    and even gold like it were mud in the streets.
⁴ The Lord will dispossess her of her possessions
    and strike down her power in the sea,
    and she will be devoured with fire.
⁵ Ashkelon will observe this and fear;
    Gaza as well and will writhe in anguish;
    even Ekron, her hope will be confounded.
The king of Gaza will perish,
    and no one will inhabit Ashkelon.
⁶ A mongrel people will dwell in Ashdod,
    and I will cut down the pride of Philistia.
⁷ I will take away the bloodshed from its mouth,
    and the abominations from between its teeth.
Even it will be a remnant for our God.
    It will be like a tribe of a clan in Judah,
    and Ekron like the Jebusites.
⁸ Then I will make camp at My house with a garrison,
    so that no one can pass back and forth.
And no oppressor will pass through them,
    for now I see with My eyes.
