Zechariah 9:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

The word of the Lord
is against the land of Hadrach,
and Damascus^(A) is its resting place—
for the eyes of humanity
and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord^[a]—
² and also against Hamath,^(B) which borders it,
as well as Tyre^(C) and Sidon,^(D)
though they are very shrewd.
³ Tyre has built herself a fortress;
she has heaped up silver like dust
and gold like the dirt of the streets.
⁴ Listen! The Lord will impoverish her
and cast her wealth into the sea;
she herself will be consumed by fire.^(E)
5 Ashkelon will see it and be afraid;
Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.
There will cease to be a king in Gaza,
and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.
⁶ A mongrel people will live in Ashdod,
and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.^(F)
7 I will remove the blood from their mouths
and the abhorrent things^(G)
from between their teeth.
Then they too will become a remnant for our God;
they will become like a clan in Judah
and Ekron like the Jebusites.^(H)
8 I will encamp at my house as a guard,
against those who march back and forth,
and no oppressor will march against them again,
for now I have seen with my own eyes.
