Zacarias 9

1 A revelation.

2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it;

3 Tyre built herself a stronghold,

4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,

5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear;

6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,

7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth,

8 I will encamp around my house against the army,

9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!

10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,

11 As for you also,

12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope!

13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me.

14 The LORD will be seen over them;

15 The LORD of Hosts will defend them;

16 The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;

17 For how great is his goodness,
