Zechariah 9:1-8

World English Bible

Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach,
    and will rest upon Damascus;
for the eye of man
    and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;
² and Hamath, also, which borders on it;
    Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
³ Tyre built herself a stronghold,
    and heaped up silver like the dust,
    and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
⁴ Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,
    and he will strike her power in the sea;
    and she will be devoured with fire.
⁵ Ashkelon will see it, and fear;
    Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;
    as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;
    and the king will perish from Gaza,
    and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
⁶ Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,
    and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
⁷ I will take away his blood out of his mouth,
    and his abominations from between his teeth;
and he also will be a remnant for our God;
    and he will be as a chieftain in Judah,
    and Ekron as a Jebusite.
⁸ I will encamp around my house against the army,
    that no one pass through or return;
    and no oppressor will pass through them any more:
    for now I have seen with my eyes.
