9:1 The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah);

9:2 and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

9:3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

9:4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

9:5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

9:7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

9:8 And I will encamp about my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

9:11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water.

9:12 Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

9:13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

9:14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

9:15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

9:16 And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

9:17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

29:1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy

29:2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.

29:3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.

29:4 The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.

29:5 A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.

29:6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

29:7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know it.

29:8 Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath.

29:9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

29:10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.

29:11 A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

29:12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

29:13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.

19:11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

19:12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.

19:13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

19:14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.

19:15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

19:16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God;

19:18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.

19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.

19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:

19:21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
