1
The
burden
of
the
word
of
the
LORD
in
the
land
of
Hadrach,
and
Damascus
[shall
be]
the
rest
thereof:
when
the
eyes
of
man,
as
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
[shall
be]
toward
the
LORD.
2
And
Hamath
also
shall
border
thereby;
Tyrus,
and
Zidon,
though
it
be
very
wise.
3
And
Tyrus
did
build
herself
a
strong
hold,
and
heaped
up
silver
as
the
dust,
and
fine
gold
as
the
mire
of
the
streets.
4
Behold,
the
Lord
will
cast
her
out,
and
he
will
smite
her
power
in
the
sea;
and
she
shall
be
devoured
with
fire.
5
Ashkelon
shall
see
[it],
and
fear;
Gaza
also
[shall
see
it],
and
be
very
sorrowful,
and
Ekron;
for
her
expectation
shall
be
ashamed;
and
the
king
shall
perish
from
Gaza,
and
Ashkelon
shall
not
be
inhabited.
6
And
a
bastard
shall
dwell
in
Ashdod,
and
I
will
cut
off
the
pride
of
the
Philistines.
7
And
I
will
take
away
his
blood
out
of
his
mouth,
and
his
abominations
from
between
his
teeth:
but
he
that
remaineth,
even
he,
[shall
be]
for
our
God,
and
he
shall
be
as
a
governor
in
Judah,
and
Ekron
as
a
Jebusite.
8
And
I
will
encamp
about
mine
house
because
of
the
army,
because
of
him
that
passeth
by,
and
because
of
him
that
returneth:
and
no
oppressor
shall
pass
through
them
any
more:
for
now
have
I
seen
with
mine
eyes.
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,
and
upon
a
colt
the
foal
of
an
ass.
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
heathen:
and
his
dominion
[shall
be]
from
sea
[even]
to
sea,
and
from
the
river
[even]
to
the
ends
of
the
earth.
11
As
for
thee
also,
by
the
blood
of
thy
covenant
I
have
sent
forth
thy
prisoners
out
of
the
pit
wherein
[is]
no
water.
12
Turn
you
to
the
strong
hold,
ye
prisoners
of
hope:
even
to
day
do
I
declare
[that]
I
will
render
double
unto
thee;
13
When
I
have
bent
Judah
for
me,
filled
the
bow
with
Ephraim,
and
raised
up
thy
sons,
O
Zion,
against
thy
sons,
O
Greece,
and
made
thee
as
the
sword
of
a
mighty
man.
14
And
the
LORD
shall
be
seen
over
them,
and
his
arrow
shall
go
forth
as
the
lightning:
and
the
Lord
GOD
shall
blow
the
trumpet,
and
shall
go
with
whirlwinds
of
the
south.
15
The
LORD
of
hosts
shall
defend
them;
and
they
shall
devour,
and
subdue
with
sling
stones;
and
they
shall
drink,
[and]
make
a
noise
as
through
wine;
and
they
shall
be
filled
like
bowls,
[and]
as
the
corners
of
the
altar.
16
And
the
LORD
their
God
shall
save
them
in
that
day
as
the
flock
of
his
people:
for
they
[shall
be
as]
the
stones
of
a
crown,
lifted
up
as
an
ensign
upon
his
land.
17
For
how
great
[is]
his
goodness,
and
how
great
[is]
his
beauty!
corn
shall
make
the
young
men
cheerful,
and
new
wine
the
maids.
