Book of Zechariah, Chapter 9
Chapter 9 of Zechariah
3Tyre and 4Sidon, [b]though [c]they are 5very wise.
And 7piled up silver like dust,
And 8gold like the mire of the streets.
And cast her wealth into the sea;
And she will be 10consumed with fire.
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.
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a [e]clan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
Because of 12him who passes by and returns;
And 13no oppressor will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your 15king is coming to you;
He is [g]16just and 17endowed with salvation,
18Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a 19colt, the [h]foal of a donkey.
And the 21horse from Jerusalem;
And the 22bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak 23peace to the nations;
And His 24dominion will be from sea to sea,
And from the [i]River to the ends of the earth.
I have set your 26prisoners free from the [j]waterless pit.
This very day I am declaring that I will restore 29double to you.
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O 31Greece;
And I will make you like a 32warrior’s sword.
And His 34arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [n]GOD will blow the 35trumpet,
And will march in the 36storm winds of the south.
And they will 38devour and trample on the 39sling stones;
And they will drink and be 40boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the 41corners of the altar.
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a 43crown,
[o]Sparkling in His land.
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.FOOTNOTES
