Zechariah 9 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

And Hamath ^H2574 also ^H1571, which borders ^H1379 on it;

And Tyre ^H6865 and Sidon ^H6721, [fn]because ^H3588 [fn]they are ^H2449 very ^H3966 wise ^H2449.

So Tyre ^H6865 built ^H1129 herself a tight fortification ^H4692

And tied ^H6651 up ^H6651 silver ^H3701 like dust ^H6083

And fine ^H2742 gold ^H2742 like the mire ^H2916 of the streets ^H2351.

Behold ^H2009, the Lord ^H136 will dispossess ^H3423 her

And strike ^H5221 her wealth ^H2428 down ^H5221 into the sea ^H3220;

And she will be consumed ^H398 with fire ^H784.

Ashkelon ^H831 will see ^H7200 it and be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372.

Gaza ^H5804 too will writhe ^H2342 in ^H2342 great ^H3966 pain ^H2342;

Also Ekron ^H6138, for her hope ^H4007 has been put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954.

Moreover, the king ^H4428 will perish ^H6 from Gaza ^H5804,

And Ashkelon ^H831 will not be inhabited ^H3427.

And those of illegitimate ^H4464 birth ^H4464 will inhabit ^H3427 Ashdod ^H795,

And I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the pride ^H1347 of the Philistines ^H6430.

And I will remove ^H5493 their blood ^H1818 from their mouth ^H6310

And their detestable ^H8251 things ^H8251 from between ^H996 their teeth ^H8127.

Then they also ^H1571 will be ^H7604 a ^H7604 remnant ^H7604 for our God ^H430,

And be like a [fn]clan ^H441 in Judah ^H3063,

And Ekron ^H6138 like a Jebusite ^H2983.

But I will camp ^H2583 around My house ^H1004 [fn]because ^H4480 of an army ^H4675,

Because ^H4480 of him who passes ^H5674 by ^H5674 and returns ^H7725;

And no ^H3808 taskmaster ^H5065 will pass ^H5674 over ^H5921 them anymore ^H5750,

For now ^H6258 I have seen ^H7200 with My eyes ^H5869.

Rejoice ^H1523 greatly ^H3966, O daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726!

Make ^H7321 a ^H7321 loud ^H7321 shout ^H7321, O daughter ^H1323 of Jerusalem ^H3389!

Behold ^H2009, your king ^H4428 is coming ^H935 to you;

He is [fn]righteous ^H6662 and endowed ^H3467 with ^H3467 salvation ^H3467,

[fn]Lowly ^H6041 and mounted ^H7392 on a donkey ^H2543,

Even on a [fn]colt ^H5895, the [fn]foal ^H1121 of a pack ^H860 animal ^H860.

I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the chariot ^H7393 from Ephraim ^H669

And the horse ^H5483 from Jerusalem ^H3389;

And the bow ^H7198 of war ^H4421 will be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772.

And He will speak ^H1696 peace ^H7965 to the nations ^H1471;

And His reign ^H4915 will be from sea ^H3220 to sea ^H3220

And from the [fn]River ^H5104 to the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776.

As for you also ^H1571, because of the blood ^H1818 of your covenant ^H1285,

I have set ^H7971 your prisoners ^H615 free ^H7971 from the [fn]waterless ^H369 H4325 pit ^H953.

Return ^H7725 to the [fn]stronghold ^H1225, O prisoners ^H615 [fn]who have the hope ^H8615;

This very ^H1571 day ^H3117 I am declaring ^H5046 that I will return ^H7725 double ^H4932 to you.

For I will bend ^H1869 Judah ^H3063 [fn]as My bow ^H7198;

I will fill ^H4390 the bow ^H7198 with Ephraim ^H669.

And I will rouse ^H5782 up ^H5782 your sons ^H1121, O Zion ^H6726, against ^H5921 your sons ^H1121, O [fn]Greece ^H3120;

And I will make ^H7760 you like a mighty ^H1368 man’s ^H1368 sword ^H2719.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 will appear ^H7200 over ^H5921 them,

And His arrow ^H2671 will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 like lightning ^H1300;

And Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 will blow ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782

And will go ^H1980 in the storm ^H5591 winds ^H5591 of the south ^H8486.

Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 will defend ^H1598 them.

And they will consume ^H398 and trample ^H3533 on the stones ^H68 of a sling ^H7050;

And they will drink ^H8354 and roar ^H1993 as with wine ^H3196;

And they will be filled ^H4390 like a sacrificial bowl ^H4219,

Drenched like the corners ^H2106 of the altar ^H4196.

And Yahweh ^H3068 their God ^H430 will save ^H3467 them in that day ^H3117

As the flock ^H6629 of His people ^H5971;

For they are as the stones ^H68 of a crown ^H5145,

[fn]Sparkling ^H5340 in His land ^H127.

For what ^H4100 goodness ^H2898 and what beauty ^H3308 will be [fn]theirs!

Grain ^H1715 will make the choice ^H970 men ^H970 flourish ^H5107, and new ^H8492 wine ^H8492 the virgins ^H1330.
