1 The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh--his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)
2 And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for--very wise!
3 And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.
4 Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.
5 See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron- -for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,
6 And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.
7 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.
