Zechariah 9:3-17

9:3

And Tyrus
<06865>

did build
<01129> (8799)

herself a strong hold
<04692>_,

and heaped up
<06651> (8799)

silver
<03701>

as the dust
<06083>_,

and fine gold
<02742>

as the mire
<02916>

of the streets
<02351>_.

9:4

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

will cast her out
<03423> (8686)_,

and he will smite
<05221> (8689)

her power
<02428>

in the sea
<03220>_;

and she shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_.

9:5

Ashkelon
<0831>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and fear
<03372> (8799)_;

Gaza
<05804>

also [shall see it], and be very
<03966>

sorrowful
<02342> (8799)_,

and Ekron
<06138>_;

for her expectation
<04007>

shall be ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;

and the king
<04428>

shall perish
<06> (8804)

from Gaza
<05804>_,

and Ashkelon
<0831>

shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_.

9:6

And a bastard
<04464>

shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in Ashdod
<0795>_,

and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the pride
<01347>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

9:7

And I will take away
<05493> (8689)

his blood
<01818>

out of his mouth
<06310>_,

and his abominations
<08251>

from between his teeth
<08127>_:

but he that remaineth
<07604> (8738)_,

even he, [shall be] for our God
<0430>_,

and he shall be as a governor
<0441>

in Judah
<03063>_,

and Ekron
<06138>

as a Jebusite
<02983>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

9:8

And I will encamp
<02583> (8804)

about mine house
<01004>

because of the army
<04675>_,

because of him that passeth by
<05674> (8802)_,

and because of him that returneth
<07725> (8802)_:

and no oppressor
<05065> (8802)

shall pass through
<05674> (8799)

them any more: for now have I seen
<07200> (8804)

with mine eyes
<05869>_.

9:9

Rejoice
<01523> (8798)

greatly
<03966>_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_;

shout
<07321> (8685)_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

behold, thy King
<04428>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

unto thee: he [is] just
<06662>_,

and having salvation
<03467> (8737)_;

lowly
<06041>_,

and riding
<07392> (8802)

upon an ass
<02543>_,

and upon a colt
<05895>

the foal
<01121>

of an ass
<0860>_.

{having...: or, saving himself}

9:10

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the chariot
<07393>

from Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the horse
<05483>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the battle
<04421>

bow
<07198>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

and he shall speak
<01696> (8765)

peace
<07965>

unto the heathen
<01471>_:

and his dominion
<04915>

[shall be] from sea
<03220>

[even] to sea
<03220>_,

and from the river
<05104>

[even] to the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>_.

9:11

As for thee also, by the blood
<01818>

of thy covenant
<01285>

I have sent forth
<07971> (8765)

thy prisoners
<0615>

out of the pit
<0953>

wherein [is] no water
<04325>_.

{by...: or, whose covenant is by blood}

9:12

Turn
<07725> (8798)

you to the strong hold
<01225>_,

ye prisoners
<0615>

of hope
<08615>_:

even to day
<03117>

do I declare
<05046> (8688)

[that] I will render
<07725> (8686)

double
<04932>

unto thee;

9:13

When I have bent
<01869> (8804)

Judah
<03063>

for me, filled
<04390> (8765)

the bow
<07198>

with Ephraim
<0669>_,

and raised up
<05782> (8790)

thy sons
<01121>_,

O Zion
<06726>_,

against thy sons
<01121>_,

O Greece
<03120>_,

and made
<07760> (8804)

thee as the sword
<02719>

of a mighty man
<01368>_.

9:14

And the LORD
<03068>

shall be seen
<07200> (8735)

over them, and his arrow
<02671>

shall go forth
<03318> (8804)

as the lightning
<01300>_:

and the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

shall blow
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_,

and shall go
<01980> (8804)

with whirlwinds
<05591>

of the south
<08486>_.

9:15

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

shall defend
<01598> (8686)

them; and they shall devour
<0398> (8804)_,

and subdue
<03533> (8804)

with sling
<07050>

stones
<068>_;

and they shall drink
<08354> (8804)_,

[and] make a noise
<01993> (8804)

as through wine
<03196>_;

and they shall be filled
<04390> (8804)

like bowls
<04219>_,

[and] as the corners
<02106>

of the altar
<04196>_.

{with...: or, the stones of the sling} {be...: or, fill both the bowls, etc}

9:16

And the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>

shall save
<03467> (8689)

them in that day
<03117>

as the flock
<06629>

of his people
<05971>_:

for they [shall be as] the stones
<068>

of a crown
<05145>_,

lifted up as an ensign
<05264> (8706)

upon his land
<0127>_.

9:17

For how great [is] his goodness
<02898>_,

and how great [is] his beauty
<03308>_!

corn
<01715>

shall make the young men
<0970>

cheerful
<05107> (8766)_,

and new wine
<08492>

the maids
<01330>_.

{cheerful: or, grow, or, speak}
