Zechariah 9 📜 📕 ↷
Burden against Israel's Enemies
1 THE burden of the word of our Lord in the land of Hadrach, & Damascus his rest: because our Lord is the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel.📜💬📚
2 Emath also in the borders thereof, & Tyre, & Sidon: for they have taken to themselves wisdom exceedingly.📜💬📚
3 And Tyre hath built her munitions, and heaped together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the streets.📜💬📚
4 Behold our Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, & she shall be devoured with fire.📜💬📚
5 Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be sorry exceedingly: & Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shall perish out of Gaza, & Ascalon shall not be inhabited.📜💬📚
6 And the separator shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistiims.📜💬📚
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations out of the midst of his teeth: and he also shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a duke in Juda, & Accaron as a Jebuseite.📜💬📚
8 And I will environ my house of them, that serve me in warfare going and returning, & the exactor shall no more pass over them: because now I have seen with mine eyes.📜💬📚
Zion's Coming King
9 Rejoice greatly, o daughter of Sion, make jubilation, o daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just & saviour: himself poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.📜💬📚
10 And I will destroy chariot out of Ephraim, and horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be dissipated: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power from sea even to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.📜💬📚
11 Thou also in the blood of thy testament hast let forth thy prisoners out of the lake, wherein is no water.📜💬📚
12 Convert to the munition ye prisoners of hope, to day also declaring I will render thee double.📜💬📚
13 Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons o Sion upon thy sons o Greece, and I will make thee as the sword of the strong.📜💬📚
LORD Will Save His People
14 And our Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and our Lord God will sound with trumpet, and will go in the whirlwind of the South.📜💬📚
15 The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be drunk as it were of wine, & they shall be filled as phials, and the horns of the altar.📜💬📚
16 And our Lord their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people: because holy stones shall be elevated over his land.📜💬📚
17 For what is his good thing, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing virgins?📜💬📚
