1The burden of the word of the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Elohim (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, you^2f 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-Yehovah (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-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

15The LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elohim (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.
