Zechariah 9:4 in context

Zechariah 9:1–7

1

A revelation.

The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach,

and will rest upon Damascus—

for the eye of man

and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD—

2

and Hamath, also, which borders on it,

Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

3

Tyre built herself a stronghold,

and heaped up silver like the dust,

and fine gold like the mire of the streets.

4
Selected verse

Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,

and he will strike her power in the sea;

and she will be devoured with fire.

5

Ashkelon will see it, and fear;

Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;

as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;

and the king will perish from Gaza,

and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

6

Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,

and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

7

I will take away his blood out of his mouth,

and his abominations from between his teeth;

and he also will be a remnant for our God;

and he will be as a chieftain in Judah,

and Ekron as a Jebusite.
