Zechariah 9:1-8 - Judgment Of Zion's Enemies
1 An Oracle
is against the land of Hadrach,
and Damascus
for the eyes of men
and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord
as well as Tyre
though they are very shrewd.
she has heaped up silver like dust
and gold like the dirt of the streets.
and cast her wealth into the sea;
she herself will be consumed by fire.
Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.
There will cease to be a king in Gaza,
and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.
and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.
and the detestable things
from between their teeth.
Then they too will become a remnant for our God;
they will become like a clan in Judah
and Ekron like the Jebusites.
against those who march back and forth,
and no oppressor will march against them again,
for now I have seen with My own eyes.
