38:009:002 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus,
and Zidon, though
it
be very wise.
38:009:003 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold,
and heaped up
silver
as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
38:009:004 Behold, the lord will cast her out,
and he will smite her
power
in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
38:009:005 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also
shall see it, and
be
very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall
be
ashamed;
and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon
shall
not be inhabited.
38:009:006 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and
I will cut off the
pride
of the Philistines.
38:009:007 And I will take away his blood out of his
mouth, and his
abominations
from between his teeth: but he that remaineth,
even
he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor
in
Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
38:009:008 And I will encamp about mine house because
of the army,
because
of him that passeth by, and because of him that
returneth:
and no oppressor shall pass through them any more:
for
now have I seen with mine eyes.
38:009:009 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout,
O daughter of
Jerusalem:
behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just,
and
having
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon
a
colt
the foal of an ass.
38:009:010 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,
and the horse
from
Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off:
and he
shall
speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion
shall be
from
sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends
of
the
earth.
38:009:011 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant
I have sent
forth
thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
38:009:012 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners
of hope: even to day
do
I declare that I will render double unto thee;
38:009:013 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the
bow with Ephraim,
and
raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece,
and
made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
38:009:014 And the lord shall be seen over them,
and his arrow shall go
forth
as the lightning: and the lord God shall
blow the
trumpet,
and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
38:009:015 The lord of hosts shall defend them;
and they shall devour,
and
subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and
make a
noise
as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls,
and
as the corners of the altar.
