Zechariah - Chapter 9

1A pronouncement: The word of Hashem. He will reside in the land of Hadrach and Damascus; For all men's eyes will turn to Hashem— Like all the tribes of Yisrael—

2Including Hamath, which borders on it, And Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

3Tyre has built herself a fortress; She has amassed silver like dust, And gold like the mud in the streets.

4But my Lord will impoverish her; He will defeat her forces at sea, And she herself shall be consumed by fire.

5Ashkelon shall see it and be frightened, Azza shall tremble violently, And Ekron, at the collapse of her hopes. Kingship shall vanish from Azza, Ashkelon shall be without inhabitants,

7But I will clean out the blood from its mouth, And the detestable things from between its teeth. Its survivors, too, shall belong to our God: They shall become like a clan in Yehuda, And Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.

8And I will encamp in My House against armies, Against any that come and go, And no oppressor shall ever overrun them again; For I have now taken note with My own eyes.

9Rejoice greatly, Fair Tzion; Raise a shout, Fair Yerushalayim! Lo, your king is coming to you. He is victorious, triumphant, Yet humble, riding on an ass, On a donkey foaled by a she-ass.

10He shall banish chariots from Efraim And horses from Yerushalayim; The warrior's bow shall be banished. He shall call on the nations to surrender, And his rule shall extend from sea to sea And from ocean to land's end.

13For I have drawn Yehuda taut, And applied [My hand] to Efraim as to a bow, And I will arouse your sons, O Tzion, Against your sons, O Javan, And make you like a warrior's sword.
