1The oracle of the word of Yahweh in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his rest, for to Yahweh is the eye of the man and all the tribes of Israel.
2And also Hamath will set in it, Tyre and Sidon, for it is wise exceedingly.
3And Tyre built a siege for herself, and heaped silver as the dust, and maimed as the mud of the streets.
4Behold, the Lord will occupy it, and her wealth he struck in the sea, and in the fire she will be eaten.
5Ashkelon will see and fear, and Gaza, and she will wait anxiously exceedingly, and Ekron, for her hope is ashamed; the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not dwell.
6And one will dwell in Ashdod, and I cut off the majesty of the Philistines.
7And I will remove his blood from his mouth and his abominable filth from between his teeth; and he was left also for our God, and he was as a chief in Judah, and Ekron as the Jebusite.
8And I will encamp to my house an outpost from one who passes through and from one who returns, and the oppressor will not pass over them again, for now I saw with my eyes.
9Rejoice exceedingly, daughter of Zion; shout aloud, daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your king will come to you, righteous and saved is he, poor and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10And I cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horses from Jerusalem, and the bow of the war was cut off; and he will speak wholeness to the nations, and his dominion is from the sea to the sea, and from the river to the end of the land.
11Also you, in the blood of your covenant I sent your prisoners from the hole in which there is no waters.
12Return to the stronghold, prisoners of the hope; also today I tell you that a second I will return to you.
13For I rose Judah to me as a bow, I filled it with Ephraim, and I awoke your sons, O Zion, over your sons, O Greece, and I put you as the sword of a mighty man.
14And Yahweh will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth as the lightning; and the Adonai Yahweh will blow in the trumpet, and he will go in the whirlwinds of the south.
15Yahweh of hosts will defend over them, and they will eat and force down the stones of the hangings, and they will drink and roared as with wine, and they were filled like the bowl, like the corners of the altar.
16And Yahweh their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people; for they are the stones of a crown, sparkling over his ground.
17For what is his good, and what is his splendor! Grain will make the youngs flourish, and new wine the virgins.
