3 Tyre has built a strong, walled city.The people have piled up silver like dust.They have as much gold as mud in the streets.
4 But the Lord will take away all she has.He will destroy her power on the sea.That city will be destroyed by fire.
5 The city of Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.The people of Gaza will shake with fear.And the people of Ekron will lose hope.No king will be left in Gaza.And no one will live in Ashkelon anymore.
6 Foreigners will live in Ashdod.And I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will stop them from drinking blood.They will not eat any other forbidden food.Those left alive will belong to God.They will be leaders in Judah.And Ekron will become part of my people like the Jebusites.
8 I will protect my Templefrom armies who come and go.No one will hurt my people againbecause now I am guarding it.
9 Rejoice, people of Jerusalem.Shout for joy, people of Jerusalem.Your king is coming to you.He does what is right, and he saves.He is gentle and riding on a donkey.He is on the colt of a donkey.
