The [a]burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting-place (for [b]the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah); and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, [c]because they are very wise. And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite [d]her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. And [e]a bastard shall [f]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; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

And I will encamp about my house [g]against the army, that none pass through or return; and no [h]oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and [i]having [j]salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water. 12 [k]Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee. 13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O [l]Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south. 15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar. 16 And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, [m]lifted on high over his land. 17 For how great is [n]his [o]goodness, and how great is [p]his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Israel Defended Against Enemies

The [a]burden of the word of the Lord
Against the land of Hadrach,
And (A)Damascus its resting place
(For (B)the eyes of men
And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);
Also against (C)Hamath, which borders on it,
And against (D)Tyre and (E)Sidon, though they are very (F)wise.

For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
Behold, (G)the Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy (H)her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.

Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (I)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

“A[b] mixed race shall settle (J)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (K)Philistines.
I will take away the blood from his mouth,
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
(L)I will camp around My house
Because of the army,
Because of him who passes by and him who returns.
No more shall an oppressor pass through them,
For now I have seen with My eyes.

The Coming King(M)

“Rejoice (N)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, (O)your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I (P)will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The (Q)battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be (R)‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’

God Will Save His People

11 “As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your (S)prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold,
(T)You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore (U)double to you.
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”

14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (V)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (W)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (X)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [c]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will (Y)save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For (Z)they shall be like the [d]jewels of a crown,
(AA)Lifted like a banner over His land—
17 For (AB)how great is [e]its goodness
And how great its (AC)beauty!
(AD)Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies

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.
Also Hamath borders it,
    even Tyre and Sidon, cities that are very wise.
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.
The Lord will dispossess her of her possessions
    and strike down her power in the sea,
    and she will be devoured with fire.
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.
A mongrel people will dwell in Ashdod,
    and I will cut down the pride of Philistia.
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.
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.

The Coming King of Zion

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
    And cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king is coming to you;
    he is righteous and able to deliver,
    he is humble and riding on a donkey,
    a colt, the offspring of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
    and the horse from Jerusalem;
    and the bow for battle will be cut off.
He will speak peace to the nations;
    and his dominion will be from one sea to another,
    and from the Great River to the ends of the earth.
11 And as for you, because of the blood of your covenant,
    I will send your prisoners from the empty, waterless pits.
12 Return to your stronghold, prisoners who now have hope.
    Today I declare that I will return to you a double portion.
13 Because I have bent Judah as My bow
    and fitted the bow with Ephraim.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, O Greece,
    and will set you like the sword of a warrior.

14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
    and His arrow will go out like lightning.
The Lord God will sound His trumpet,
    and will march forth like storm winds of southern Teman.
15     The Lord of Hosts will protect them.
They will devour up
    and subdue them with stone slingers.
And they will drink and make noise as with wine;
    they will be filled with blood as a bowl,
    saturated like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will deliver them that day
    like the flock of His people.
For like jewels embedded in a crown,
    they will shine in His land.
17 For how great is His goodness, and how great His beauty!
    There will be grain for the young men
    and new wine to prosper the young women.

Castigo de las naciones vecinas

La profecía de la palabra de Jehová está contra la tierra de Hadrac y sobre Damasco;(A) porque a Jehová deben mirar los ojos de los hombres, y de todas las tribus de Israel. También Hamat será comprendida en el territorio de este; Tiro y Sidón,(B) aunque sean muy sabias. Bien que Tiro se edificó fortaleza, y amontonó plata como polvo, y oro como lodo de las calles, he aquí, el Señor la empobrecerá, y herirá en el mar su poderío, y ella será consumida de fuego.

Verá Ascalón, y temerá; Gaza también, y se dolerá en gran manera; asimismo Ecrón, porque su esperanza será confundida; y perecerá el rey de Gaza, y Ascalón no será habitada. Habitará en Asdod un extranjero, y pondré fin a la soberbia de los filisteos.(C) Quitaré la sangre de su boca, y sus abominaciones de entre sus dientes, y quedará también un remanente para nuestro Dios, y serán como capitanes en Judá, y Ecrón será como el jebuseo. Entonces acamparé alrededor de mi casa como un guarda, para que ninguno vaya ni venga, y no pasará más sobre ellos el opresor; porque ahora miraré con mis ojos.

El futuro rey de Sion

Alégrate mucho, hija de Sion; da voces de júbilo, hija de Jerusalén; he aquí tu rey vendrá a ti, justo y salvador, humilde, y cabalgando sobre un asno, sobre un pollino hijo de asna.(D) 10 Y de Efraín destruiré los carros, y los caballos de Jerusalén, y los arcos de guerra serán quebrados; y hablará paz a las naciones, y su señorío será de mar a mar, y desde el río hasta los fines de la tierra.(E)

11 Y tú también por la sangre de tu pacto serás salva; yo he sacado tus presos de la cisterna en que no hay agua. 12 Volveos a la fortaleza, oh prisioneros de esperanza; hoy también os anuncio que os restauraré el doble. 13 Porque he entesado para mí a Judá como arco, e hice a Efraín su flecha, y despertaré a tus hijos, oh Sion, contra tus hijos, oh Grecia, y te pondré como espada de valiente.

14 Y Jehová será visto sobre ellos, y su dardo saldrá como relámpago; y Jehová el Señor tocará trompeta, e irá entre torbellinos del austro. 15 Jehová de los ejércitos los amparará, y ellos devorarán, y hollarán las piedras de la honda, y beberán, y harán estrépito como tomados de vino; y se llenarán como tazón, o como cuernos del altar. 16 Y los salvará en aquel día Jehová su Dios como rebaño de su pueblo; porque como piedras de diadema serán enaltecidos en su tierra. 17 Porque ¡cuánta es su bondad, y cuánta su hermosura! El trigo alegrará a los jóvenes, y el vino a las doncellas.

The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach,
and Damascus shall be the rest thereof:
when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.
And Hamath also shall border thereby;
Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold,
and heaped up silver as the dust,
and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Behold, the Lord will cast her out,
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 expectation shall be ashamed;
and the king shall perish from Gaza,
and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
And a bastard 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 he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God,
and he shall be as a governor in Judah,
and Ekron as a Jebusite.
And I will encamp about mine house because of the army,
because of him that passeth by,
and because of him that returneth:
and no oppressor shall pass through them any more:
for now have I seen with mine eyes.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:
behold, thy King cometh unto thee:
he is just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding upon an ass,
and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,
and the horse from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow shall be cut off:
and he shall speak peace unto the heathen:
and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea,
and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant
I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope:
even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
13 when I have bent Judah for me,
filled the bow with Ephraim,
and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece,
and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them,
and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning:
and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet,
and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them;
and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones;
and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine;
and they shall be filled like bowls,
and as the corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day
as the flock of his people:
for they shall be as the stones of a crown,
lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
17 For how great is his goodness,
and how great is his beauty!
corn shall make the young men cheerful,
and new wine the maids.
