A message, the word of יהוה in the land of Ḥadrakh and Damascus its resting place. For the eye of Adam and all the tribes of Yisra'el is upon יהוה.

Also Ḥamath borders it, Tsor and Tsidon, for it is very wise.

And Tsor built a fortress for itself, and piled up silver like dust, and fine gold like the dirt of the streets.

Look, Adonai will dispossess her, and strike her fortress with the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.

Ashqelon will see and fear, and ʿazzah and will tremble greatly, and ʿeqron, for its confidence is ashamed. And a king will perish from ʿazzah, and Ashqelon will not dwell.

And a bastard will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Pelishtim.

And I will remove its blood from its mouth, and its detestable things from between its teeth, and it too will remain for our Elohim, and it will be like a clan leader in Yehudah, and ʿeqron like a Jebusite.

And I will encamp around my house against a passing army, and against a goer and a comer, and no oppressor will pass over them again, for now I have seen with my eyes.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Tsiyon! Shout, daughter of Yerushalayim! Look, your king comes to you, righteous and delivering. He is humble and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, son of a female donkey.

And I will cut off chariots from Efrayim and horses from Yerushalayim, and the battle bow will be cut off. And he will speak peace to the nations, and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

Also you, because of the blood of your covenant, I have sent out your prisoners from the pit where there is no water.

Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! Today I declare twice over I will repay you.

For I have bent Yehudah for myself as a bow, I have filled Efrayim with it. And I will stir up your sons, Tsiyon, against your sons, Yavan, and I will make you like the sword of a warrior.

And יהוה will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And Adonai יהוה will blow the shofar, and will go with storms from the south.

יהוה of hosts will defend them, and they will devour and tread down sling stones. And they will drink and make a noise like wine, and will be filled like basins, like the corners of the altar.

And יהוה their Elohim will save them on that day, like the flock of his people. For stones of a diadem will flash on his land.

For how good he is, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
