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.
8 I will encamp around my house against the army,that no one pass through or return;and no oppressor will pass through them any more:for now I have seen with my eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!Behold, your King comes to you!He is righteous, and having salvation;lowly, and riding on a donkey,even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,and the horse from Jerusalem;and the battle bow will be cut off;and he will speak peace to the nations:and his dominion will be from sea to sea,and from the River to the ends of the earth.
