Zechariah 9
1A 1 The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach, 2 and will rest upon Damascus— 1 for the eye of man 2 and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD— 1
2and 2 Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise. 1
3Tyre 2 and heaped up silver like the dust, 2 and fine gold like the mire of the streets. 1
4Behold 2 and he will strike her power in the sea; 2 and she will be devoured with fire. 1
5Ashkelon will 2 Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; 2 as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; 2 and the king will perish from Gaza, 2 and Ashkelon will not be inhabited. 1
6Foreigners will 2 and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 1
7I 2 and his abominations from between his teeth; 1 and he also will be a remnant for our God; 2 and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, 2 and Ekron as a Jebusite. 1
8I 2 that no one pass through or return; 2 and no oppressor will pass through them any more: 2 for now I have seen with my eyes. 1
9Rejoice 2 Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! 1 Behold, your King comes to you! 2 He is righteous, and having salvation; 2 lowly, and riding on a donkey, 2 even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 1
10I 2 and the horse from Jerusalem. 1 The battle bow will be cut off; 2 and he will speak peace to the nations. 1 His dominion will be from sea to sea, 2 and from the River to the ends of the earth. 1
11As 2 because of the blood of your covenant, 2 I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water. 1
12Turn 2 Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. 1
13For 2 I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. 1 I will stir up your sons, Zion, 2 against your sons, Greece, 2 and will make you like the sword of a mighty man. 1
14The 2 His arrow will flash like lightning. 1 The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, 2 and will go with whirlwinds of the south. 1
15The 2 They will destroy and overcome with sling stones. 1 They will drink, and roar as through wine. 2 They will be filled like bowls, 2 like the corners of the altar. 1
16The 2 for they are like the jewels of a crown, 2 lifted on high over his land. 1
17For 2 and how great is his beauty! 1 Grain will make the young men flourish, 2 and new wine the virgins.
