Zechariah 9

² And Hamath also, which borders on it;
Tyre and Sidon, ^[b]though ^[c]they are very wise.
³ For Tyre built herself a fortress
And piled up silver like dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
⁴ Behold, the Lord will dispossess her
And cast her wealth into the sea;
And she will be 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 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 him who passes by and returns;
And no oppressor will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is ^[g]just and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the ^[h]foal of a donkey.
¹⁰ I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
And the bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak peace to the nations;
And His 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 blood of My covenant with you,
I have set your prisoners free from the ^[j]waterless pit.
¹² Return to the ^[k]stronghold, O prisoners ^[l]who have the hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
¹³ For I will 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 Greece;
And I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear over them,
And His arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord ^[n]God will blow the trumpet,
And will march in the storm winds of the south.
¹⁵ The Lord of hosts will defend them.
And they will devour and trample on the sling stones;
And they will drink and be boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the corners of the altar.
¹⁶ And the Lord their God will save them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a crown,
^[o]Sparkling in His land.
¹⁷ For what ^[p]comeliness and beauty will be ^[q]theirs!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
