against
Hamath, which
borders
it
, as
well
as
Tyre and Sidon, though
they are very shrewd
.
and Hamath, also
, which
bordereth
thereon;
Tyre and Sidon, because
they are very wise
.
Tyre has
built
herself a fortress;
she
has
heaped up silver like
dust, and gold like
the dirt
of the streets.

into
the sea ,

Ashkelon will
see and fear; Gaza will
writhe

Gaza, and Ashkelon will
be uninhabited
.
Ashkelon shall
see it,
and fear; Gaza also
, and
shall
be
sore

shall
be put

perish
from

race
will
occupy

I will remove
the
blood from
their
mouths
and the
abominations from between their

become
like
a clan
in Judah, and Ekron will
be
like
the
Jebusites
.
And
I will take
away
his
blood out
of
his
mouth,
and his
abominations from between his
teeth ;
and
he
also
shall
be
a remnant for our God; and
he
shall
be
as
a chieftain
in Judah, and Ekron as
a
Jebusite
.
But
I will camp
around
My house because
of
an
army, because
of
those
who
march
to
and
fro,
and never
again
will
an
oppressor overrun
My
people,
for now I keep
watch
with My
own
eyes.
And
I will encamp
about
my house against
the
army, that
none
pass
through
or
return;
and no
oppressor shall
pass
through
them
any
more:
for now have
I seen
with mine
eyes.

a colt ,
the foal of a
donkey
.

king cometh
unto
thee;

, and having
salvation;

an
ass
, even
upon
a colt the foal of an
ass
.

As for you
, because of the blood of My
covenant ,
I will
release
your
prisoners from the waterless

like
the sword of a mighty man.

the
LORD
will
appear
over them ,
and His arrow will
go forth like

will sound
the ram’s
horn
and advance
in
the
whirlwinds of the south.
And
Jehovah
shall
be
seen
over them ;
and his arrow shall
go forth as

will blow
the trumpet,
and will
go
with
whirlwinds of the south.
The
LORD
of Hosts will shield
them .
They will
destroy
and conquer
with
slingstones
; they will
drink and roar
as with
wine .
And they will
be filled like sprinkling
bowls, drenched
like the corners of the altar.
Jehovah
of hosts will defend
them ;
and
they shall
devour,
and shall
tread
down
the
sling-stones
; and
they shall
drink ,
and make
a
noise
as through
wine ;
and they shall
be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
On
that
day
the
LORD
their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like
jewels
in
a crown they
will
sparkle
over His land.

their God will save them in
that
day
as the flock of his people; for `they
shall
be
as'
the
stones
of
a crown ,
lifted
on
high
over his land.
How lovely
they
will
be
, and how beautiful
! Grain will
make the young men flourish, and new wine ,
the young
women
.
For
how great
is
his
goodness
, and how great
is
his
beauty
! grain shall
make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins
.
