¹The burden of the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the land of Hadrakh [dwelling] , and Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] [shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , [shall be] toward the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

²And Hamat [Fortress] also shall border thereby; Tzor (Tyrus) [a rock] , and Tzidon [Hunting] , though it be very wise.

³And Tzor (Tyrus) [a rock] did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

⁴Behold, the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All] will cast her out, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

⁵Ashkelon [The Fire of Infamy: I shall be Weighed] shall see [it] , and fear; ‘Azah [The Strong] also [shall see it] , and be very sorrowful, and ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] ; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from ‘Azah [The Strong] , and Ashkelon [The Fire of Infamy: I shall be Weighed] shall not be inhabited.

⁶And a child of incest shall dwell in Ashdod [powerful] , and I will cut off the pride of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] .

⁷And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remains, even he, [shall be] for our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , and he shall be as a governor in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] as a Y’vusi [Threshers] .

⁸And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passes by, and because of him that returns: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with my eyes.

⁹Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Tziyon [parched place] ; shout, O daughter of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] : behold, youri King comes unto youi : he [is] just, and having Salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

¹⁰And I will cut off the chariot from Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , and the horse from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.

¹¹As for youi also, by the blood of youri covenant I have sent forth youri prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.

¹²Turn you to the strong hold, you2f prisoners of hope: even today do I declare [that] I will render double unto youi ;

¹³When I have bent Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] for me, filled the bow with Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , and raised up youi sons, O Tziyon [parched place] , against youi sons, O Greece, and made youi as the sword of a mighty man.

¹⁴And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.

¹⁶And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an flag (or banner; as of an army) upon his land.

¹⁷For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and New Wine the maids.
