Zechariah 9

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 9 of 14

1 The burden of the Word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and its resting place, Damascus, when the eye of man, and all the tribes of Israel shall be toward Jehovah,

2 and Hamath also borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

3 And Tyre shall build a fortress for herself, and shall pile up silver like the dust, and gold like the mud of the streets.
