9:1 The
burden
of
the
word
of
Jehovah
upon
the
land
of
Hadrach,
and
Damascus
[shall
be]
its
resting-place
(for
the
eye
of
man
and
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
is
toward
Jehovah);
9:2 and
Hamath,
also,
which
bordereth
thereon;
Tyre
and
Sidon,
because
they
are
very
wise.
9:3 And
Tyre
did
build
herself
a
stronghold,
and
heaped
up
silver
as
the
dust,
and
fine
gold
as
the
mire
of
the
streets.
9:4 Behold,
the
Lord
will
dispossess
her,
and
he
will
smite
her
power
in
the
sea;
and
she
shall
be
devoured
with
fire.
9:5 Ashkelon
shall
see
it,
and
fear;
Gaza
also,
and
shall
be
sore
pained;
and
Ekron,
for
her
expectation
shall
be
put
to
shame;
and
the
king
shall
perish
from
Gaza,
and
Ashkelon
shall
not
be
inhabited.
9:6 And
a
bastard
shall
dwell
in
Ashdod,
and
I
will
cut
off
the
pride
of
the
Philistines.
9:7 And
I
will
take
away
his
blood
out
of
his
mouth,
and
his
abominations
from
between
his
teeth;
and
he
also
shall
be
a
remnant
for
our
God;
and
he
shall
be
as
a
chieftain
in
Judah,
and
Ekron
as
a
Jebusite.
9:8 And
I
will
encamp
about
my
house
against
the
army,
that
none
pass
through
or
return;
and
no
oppressor
shall
pass
through
them
any
more:
for
now
have
I
seen
with
mine
eyes.
9:9 Rejoice
greatly,
O
daughter
of
Zion;
shout,
O
daughter
of
Jerusalem:
behold,
thy
king
cometh
unto
thee;
he
is
just,
and
having
salvation;
lowly,
and
riding
upon
an
ass,
even
upon
a
colt
the
foal
of
an
ass.
9:10 And
I
will
cut
off
the
chariot
from
Ephraim,
and
the
horse
from
Jerusalem;
and
the
battle
bow
shall
be
cut
off;
and
he
shall
speak
peace
unto
the
nations:
and
his
dominion
shall
be
from
sea
to
sea,
and
from
the
River
to
the
ends
of
the
earth.
9:11 As
for
thee
also,
because
of
the
blood
of
thy
covenant
I
have
set
free
thy
prisoners
from
the
pit
wherein
is
no
water.
9:12 Turn
you
to
the
stronghold,
ye
prisoners
of
hope:
even
to-day
do
I
declare
that
I
will
render
double
unto
thee.
9:13 For
I
have
bent
Judah
for
me,
I
have
filled
the
bow
with
Ephraim;
and
I
will
stir
up
thy
sons,
O
Zion,
against
thy
sons,
O
Greece,
and
will
make
thee
as
the
sword
of
a
mighty
man.
9:14 And
Jehovah
shall
be
seen
over
them;
and
his
arrow
shall
go
forth
as
the
lightning;
and
the
Lord
Jehovah
will
blow
the
trumpet,
and
will
go
with
whirlwinds
of
the
south.
9:15 Jehovah
of
hosts
will
defend
them;
and
they
shall
devour,
and
shall
tread
down
the
sling-stones;
and
they
shall
drink,
and
make
a
noise
as
through
wine;
and
they
shall
be
filled
like
bowls,
like
the
corners
of
the
altar.
9:16 And
Jehovah
their
God
will
save
them
in
that
day
as
the
flock
of
his
people;
for
[they
shall
be
as]
the
stones
of
a
crown,
lifted
on
high
over
his
land.
9:17 For
how
great
is
his
goodness,
and
how
great
is
his
beauty!
grain
shall
make
the
young
men
flourish,
and
new
wine
the
virgins.
