1. The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh--his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)
2. And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for--very wise!
3. And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
4. Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.
5. See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron- -for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,
6. And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.
7. And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
8. And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.
9. Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous--and saved is He, Afflicted--and riding on an ass, And on a colt- -a son of she-asses.
