The
burden of the
word of the
LORD in the
land of
Hadrach, and
Damascus shall be the
rest thereof: when the
eyes of
man, as of all the
tribes of
Israel, shall be toward the
LORD.

And

And

gold as the

Ashkelon shall

Gaza also shall see it, and be
very sorrowful, and
Ekron; for her
expectation shall be
ashamed; and the
king shall
perish from
Gaza, and
Ashkelon shall not be
inhabited.

And I will take
away his

mouth, and his
abominations from between his
teeth: but he that
remaineth, even he, shall be for our
God, and he shall be as a
governor in
Judah, and
Ekron as a

And I will

by, and because of him that

through them any more: for now have I
seen with mine

Rejoice greatly, O

And I will cut
