9 The burden of the word of Yahweh concerning the land of Hadrach and Damascus, its resting place; for the eye of mankind and all the tribes of Israel are toward Yahweh. 2 And also Hamath borders on it, and Tyre and Sidon, for they are very wise.

3 And Tyre has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like the mud of the streets. 4 Behold! The Lord will dispossess her and strike down her wealth on the sea, and she, she will be devoured by fire.

5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid! Gaza also will writhe greatly! Ekron also, for her hope has dried up! And the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited! 6 And a mixed people will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 7 And I will remove his blood from his mouth and his abominations from between his teeth, and he also will remain for our God, and he will be like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like a Jebusite.

8 And I will camp around my house as a guard against the one passing through and against the one returning, and no oppressor will pass over them again, for now I have seen with my eyes!

9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! Your king is coming to you; righteous and being saved is he, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the son of female donkeys.

10 And 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 River to the ends of the earth.

11 As for you also, by the blood of your covenant I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which there is no water. 12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Even today I am declaring that I will return double to you, 13 for I have bent for myself Judah, a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will rouse your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

14 And Yahweh will appear over them, and his arrow will go out like the lightning, and the Lord Yahweh will blow on the trumpet and will go with the storms of the south. 15 Yahweh of Armies will defend them, and they will devour and will subdue the stones of the sling, and they will drink and roar as with wine, and they will be full like the bowl, like the corners of the altar.

16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, like the flock of his people, for they are the stones of a crown gleaming over his land. 17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
