1 A revelation.the Lord’s word is against the land of Hadrach,and will rest upon Damascus;for the eye of manand of all the tribes of Israel is towards the Lord;
2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it;Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold,and heaped up silver like the dust,and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,and he will strike her power in the sea;and she will be devoured with fire.
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear;Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;and the king will perish from Gaza,and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod,and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth,and his abominations from between his teeth;and he also will be a remnant for our God;and he will be as a chieftain in Judah,and Ekron as a Jebusite.
