Zechariah, Chapter 9,  verses 1-10

1 Prophecies against Neighboring Nations
1 Thea Or oracleburden of the word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, with Damascus as its resting place (for the eyes of men, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward the LORD),
And Hamath also, which borders on it;
Tyre and Sidon,b Or becausethoughc I.e. they think they arethey are very wise.
For Tyre built herself a fortress
And piled up silver like dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
Behold, the Lord will dispossess her
And cast her wealth into the sea;
And she will be consumed with fire.
Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, for her expectation has been confounded.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
And ad Lit bastard willmongrel race will dwell in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like ae Or chiefclan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
But I will camp around My housef Or as a guard, so that none will go back and forthbecause of an army,
Because of him who passes by and returns;
And no oppressor will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He isg Or vindicated and victoriousjust and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, theh Lit son of a female donkeyfoal of a donkey.
10 
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
And the bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak peace to the nations;
And His dominion will be from sea to sea,
And from thei I.e. EuphratesRiver to the ends of the earth.
