Prophecies against Neighboring Nations

1 The Iburden° of the word° of the LORD° is against the land° of Hadrach°, with aDamascus° as its resting° place° (for the eyes° of men°, especially of all° the tribes° of Israel°, are toward the LORD°),
  2 And aHamath° also°, which borders° on it;
  bTyre° and cSidon°, Ithough° IIthey are bvery° wise°.
  3 For Tyre° built° herself a afortress°
  And bpiled° up silver° like dust°,
  And cgold° like the mire° of the streets°.
  4 Behold°, the Lord° will adispossess° her
  And cast° her wealth° into the sea°;
  And she will be bconsumed° 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 Imongrel° race° will dwell° in aAshdod°,
  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 Iclan° in Judah°,
  And Ekron° like a Jebusite°.
  8 But I will camp° around My house° Ibecause° of an army°,
  Because° of ahim who passes° by and returns°;
  And bno° oppressor° will pass° over° them anymore°,
  For now° I have seen° with My eyes°.
  9 aRejoice° greatly°, O daughter° of Zion°!
  Shout° [in triumph], O daughter° of Jerusalem°!
  Behold°, your bking° is coming° to you;
  He is I cjust° and dendowed° with salvation°,
  eHumble°, and mounted° on a donkey°,
  Even on a fcolt°, the IIfoal° of a donkey°.
  10 I will acut° off° the chariot° from Ephraim°
  And the bhorse° from Jerusalem°;
  And the cbow° of war° will be cut° off°.
  And He will speak° dpeace° to the nations°;
  And His edominion° will be from sea° to sea°,
  And from the IRiver° to the ends° of the earth°.

God defendeth his Church.

1 ¶ The burdenº of the wordº of the LORDº in the landº of Hadrach,º and Damascusº [shall be] the restº thereof: when² the eyesº of man,º as of all² the tribesº of Israel,º [shall be] toward the LORD.º 2 And Hamathº also² shall borderº ª thereby; Tyrus,º and Zidon,º though² it be veryº wise.º ª 3 And Tyrusº did buildº ª herself a strong hold,º and heaped upº ª silverº as the dust,º and fine goldº as the mireº of the streets.º 4 Behold,² the Lordº will cast her out,º ª and he will smiteº ª her powerº in the sea;º and she² shall be devouredº ª with fire.º 5 Ashkelonº shall seeº ª [it], and fear;º ª Gazaº also [shall see it], and be very¹ sorrowful,º ª ² and Ekron;º for² her expectationº shall be ashamed;¹ ª ² and the kingº shall perishº ª from Gaza,º ² and Ashkelonº shall not² be inhabited.º ª 6 And a bastardº shall dwellº ª in Ashdod,º and I will cut offº ª the prideº of the Philistines.º 7 And I will take awayº ª his bloodº out of his mouth,º ² and his abominationsº from between² ² his teeth:º but he that remaineth,º ª even² he,² [shall be] for our God,º and he shall be² as a governorº in Judah,º and Ekronº as a Jebusite.º 8 And I will encampº ª about mine houseº because of the army,º because of him that passeth by,º ª ² and because of him that returneth:º ª ² and no² oppressorº ª shall pass² through¹ ª ² them any more:² for² now² have I seenº ª with mine eyes.º
