9 The oracle of the Eternal’s word.
The Eternal is in the land of Hadrach,
and Damascus is his goal;
for Aram’s towns belong to the Eternal
[[like all the clans of Israel]],
2Hamath also on the borders,
Tyre and Sidon for all their shrewdness.
3Tyre has built herself a fortress,
stored up silver like dust,
and gold like dirt on the street;
4but the Eternal will strip her,
hurl her ramparts into the sea,
and she shall be consumed by fire.
5Ashkelon shall see it and be scared,
Gaza shall writhe with anguish,
Ekron’s hopes are dashed,
Gaza loses her king,
and Ashkelon lies unpeopled;
6a half-breed race shall rule in Ashdod.
“So I wipe out the pride of the Philistines,
7so I stop them from drinking blood,
from eating food detestable;
they too shall be a remnant for our God,
like any sept in Judah,
the Ekronites like Jebusites.
8I will camp round my house like a guard,
to let none march across it;
no invader shall again march through my folk,
for I am on the watch now.”
9Rejoice indeed, O maiden Sion,
shout aloud, dear Jerusalem.
Here comes your King, triumphant and victorious,
riding humbly on an ass,
on the foal of an ass!
10He banishes all chariots from Ephraim,
war-horses from Jerusalem,
and battle-bows;
his words make peace for nations,
his sway extends from sea to sea,
from the Euphrates to the ends of earth.
11“And for the sake of your blood-bond with me
I set your captive exiles free
from their dungeon [[which has no water]].
12Come hack to your safe home,
poor prisoners, with your hopes;
I compensate you now twofold.
13For I have bent Judah as my bow,
and fitted Ephraim like arrows to the string;
I will ply you like a hero’s sword,
and urge your sons on, Sion,
against the sons of Greece.”
14Then shall the Eternal be seen above them,
speeding his shafts like lightning;
the Eternal blows a bugle blast
and marches from the south with whirlwinds.
15Protected by the Lord of hosts,
they shall prevail,
stamp on the sons of Greece,
drink up their blood like wine,
as full of it as altar-bowls.
16Their God the Eternal on that day
makes them victorious;
he shepherds them on his own land
[[like jewels for a crown]]
17so fair, so fertile
[[Corn makes the young men flourish,
and new wine the maidens]].
