# Zechariah 9 (New King James Version)
|
|
Israel Defended Against Enemies
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 9
|
|
###### 1 The burden of the word of the Lord
|
|
Against the land of Hadrach,
|
|
And Damascus its resting place
|
|
(For the eyes of men
|
|
And all the tribes of Israel
|
|
Are on the Lord);
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Also _against_ Hamath, _which_ borders on it,
|
|
And _against_ Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
|
|
Heaped up silver like the dust,
|
|
And gold like the mire of the streets.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out;
|
|
He will destroy her power in the sea,
|
|
And she will be devoured by fire.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Ashkelon shall see _it_ and fear;
|
|
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
|
|
And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
|
|
The king shall perish from Gaza,
|
|
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 "A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod,
|
|
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
|
|
And the abominations from between his teeth.
|
|
But he who remains, even he _shall be_ for our God,
|
|
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
|
|
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 I will camp around My house
|
|
Because of the army,
|
|
Because of him who passes by and him who returns.
|
|
No more shall an oppressor pass through them,
|
|
For now I have seen with My eyes.The Coming King
|
|
|
|
###### 9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
|
|
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
|
|
Behold, your King is coming to you;
|
|
He _is_ just and having salvation,
|
|
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
|
|
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
|
|
And the horse from Jerusalem;
|
|
The battle bow shall be cut off.
|
|
He shall speak peace to the nations;
|
|
His dominion _shall be_ 'from sea to sea,
|
|
And from the River to the ends of the earth.'God Will Save His People
|
|
|
|
###### 11 "As for you also,
|
|
Because of the blood of your covenant,
|
|
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Return to the stronghold,
|
|
You prisoners of hope.
|
|
Even today I declare
|
|
_That_ I will restore double to you.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 For I have bent Judah, My _bow,_
|
|
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
|
|
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
|
|
Against your sons, O Greece,
|
|
And made you like the sword of a mighty man."
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
|
|
And His arrow will go forth like lightning.
|
|
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
|
|
And go with whirlwinds from the south.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 The Lord of hosts will defend them;
|
|
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
|
|
They shall drink _and_ roar as if with wine;
|
|
They shall be filled _with blood_ like basins,
|
|
Like the corners of the altar.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 The Lord their God will save them in that day,
|
|
As the flock of His people.
|
|
For they _shall be like_ the jewels of a crown,
|
|
Lifted like a banner over His land--
|
|
|
|
###### 17 For how great is its goodness
|
|
And how great its beauty!
|
|
Grain shall make the young men thrive,
|
|
And new wine the young women.
|
