The Prophecy
of Zacharias 9
The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach,
and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man,
and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord's.
Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon:
for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise.
And Tyre hath built herself a strong hold, and heaped
together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the
streets.
Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike
her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with
fire.
Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall
be very sorrowful: and Accaron, because her hope is
confounded : and the king shall perish from Gaza, and
Ascalon shall not be inhabited.
And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy
the pride of the Philistines.
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and
his abominations from between his teeth: and even he
shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor
in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.
And I will encompass my house with them that serve me
in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall
no more pass through them: for now I have seen with
my eyes.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy,
O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to
thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon
an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the
horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be
broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and
his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers
even to the end of the earth.
Thou also by the blood of thy testament hast sent forth
thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water.
Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, I will
render thee double at, I declare to day.
Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled
Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons, O Sion, above
thy sons, O Greece, and I will make thee as the sword
of the mighty.
And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart
shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound
the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south.
The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall
devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and
drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine,
and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns
of the altar.
And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as
the dock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted
up over his land.
For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful
thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing
forth virgins? |
