Dual Panel1The burden<4853> of the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> is against the land<776> of Hadrach<2317>, with Damascus<1834> as its resting<4496> place<4496> (for the eyes<5869> of men<120>, especially of all<3605> the tribes<7626> of Israel<3478>, are toward the LORD<3068>),
2And Hamath<2574> also<1571>, which borders<1379> on it; Tyre<6865> and Sidon<6721>, though<3588> they are very<3966> wise<2449>.
3For Tyre<6865> built<1129> herself a fortress<4692> And piled<6651> up silver<3701> like dust<6083>, And gold<2742> like the mire<2916> of the streets<2351>.
4Behold<2009>, the Lord<136> will dispossess<3423> her And cast<5221> her wealth<2428> into the sea<3220>; And she will be consumed<398> with fire<784>.
5Ashkelon<831> will see<7200> it and be afraid<3372>. Gaza<5804> too will writhe<2342> in great<3966> pain<2342>; Also Ekron<6138>, for her expectation<4007> has been<954> confounded<954>. Moreover, the king<4428> will perish<6> from Gaza<5804>, And Ashkelon<831> will not be inhabited<3427>.
6And a mongrel<4464> race<4464> will dwell<3427> in Ashdod<795>, And I will cut<3772> off<3772> the pride<1347> of the Philistines<6430>.
7And I will remove<5493> their blood<1818> from their mouth<6310> And their detestable<8251> things<8251> from between<996> their teeth<8127>. Then they also<1571> will be a remnant<7604> for our God<430>, And be like a clan<441> in Judah<3063>, And Ekron<6138> like a Jebusite<2983>.
8But I will camp<2583> around My house<1004> because<4480> of an army<4675>, Because<4480> of him who passes<5674> by and returns<7725>; And no<3808> oppressor<5065> will pass<5674> over<5921> them anymore<5750>, For now<6258> I have seen<7200> with My eyes<5869>.
9Rejoice<1523> greatly<3966>, O daughter<1323> of Zion<6726>! Shout<7321> in triumph, O daughter<1323> of Jerusalem<3389>! Behold<2009>, your king<4428> is coming<935> to you; He is just<6662> and endowed<3467> with salvation<3467>, Humble<6041>, and mounted<7392> on a donkey<2543>, Even on a colt<5895>, the foal<1121> of a donkey<860>.
10I will cut<3772> off<3772> the chariot<7393> from Ephraim<669> And the horse<5483> from Jerusalem<3389>; And the bow<7198> of war<4421> will be cut<3772> off<3772>. And He will speak<1696> peace<7965> to the nations<1471>; And His dominion<4915> will be from sea<3220> to sea<3220>, And from the River<5104> to the ends<657> of the earth<776>.
11As for you also<1571>, because of the blood<1818> of My covenant<1285> with you, I have set<7971> your prisoners<615> free<7971> from the waterless<369><4325> pit<953>.
12Return<7725> to the stronghold<1225>, O prisoners<615> who have the hope<8615>; This very<1571> day<3117> I am declaring<5046> that I will restore<7725> double<4932> to you.
13For I will bend<1869> Judah<3063> as My bow<7198>, I will fill<4390> the bow<7198> with Ephraim<669>. And I will stir<5782> up your sons<1121>, O Zion<6726>, against<5921> your sons<1121>, O Greece<3120>; And I will make<7760> you like a warrior's<1368> sword<2719>.
14Then the LORD<3068> will appear<7200> over<5921> them, And His arrow<2671> will go<3318> forth<3318> like lightning<1300>; And the Lord<136> GOD<3068> will blow<8628> the trumpet<7782>, And will march<1980> in the storm<5591> winds<5591> of the south<8486>.
15The LORD<3068> of hosts<6635> will defend<1598> them. And they will devour<398> and trample<3533> on the sling<7050> stones<68>; And they will drink<8354> and be boisterous<1993> as with wine<3196>; And they will be filled<4390> like a sacrificial basin<4219>, Drenched like the corners<2106> of the altar<4196>.
16And the LORD<3068> their God<430> will save<3467> them in that day<3117> As the flock<6629> of His people<5971>; For they are as the stones<68> of a crown<5145>, Sparkling<5264> in His land<127>.
17For what<4100> comeliness<2898> and beauty<3308> will be theirs! Grain<1715> will make the young<970> men<970> flourish<5107>, and new<8492> wine<8492> the virgins<1330>.
