1 The threatening of the Gentiles. 9 The comming of* 1.1 Christ.* 1.2

1 THe burden of the worde of the Lord in the land ofa 1.3 Hadrách: and Damascus (shal be) hisb 1.4 rest when thec 1.5 eyes of man, (euē) of all the tribes of Israél (shalbe) tow∣ard the Lord.

2 And Hamáth also shall borderd 1.6 thereby: Tyrus (also) & Zidón, thogh (they be)e 1.7 ve∣rie wise.

3 For Tyrus did buyld her self a strōg holde, and heaped vp siluer as the dust, and golde as the myre of the streates.

4 Behold, the Lord wil spoile her, and he wil smite her f 1.8 power in the sea, and she shal be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with fyre.

5 Ash kelón shal se it, and feare, and Azzáh also shalbe verie sorowful, and Ekrón for her countenance shalbe ashamed, and the King shal perish from Azzáh, and Ashkelón shal not be inhabited.

6 And theg 1.9 stranger shal dwell in Ashdód, & I wil cut of the pride of the Philistims.

7 And I wil take away his blood out of hys mouth, and his abomin a ciōs from betwe∣ne hish 1.10 teeth: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 he that remaineth, euen he shalbe for our God, and he shalbe as a prince in Iudáh, buti 1.11 Ekrón (shalbe) as a Ie∣busite.

8 And I will campe aboutek 1.12 mine House a∣gainst the armie, againste hym that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressour shal come vpō them anie more: for nowl 1.13 haue I sene with mine eyes.

9 Reioyce greatly, ô daughter Zión: shoute for ioye, ô daughter Ierusalém behold, thy King cometh vnto thee:m 1.14 he is iuste & sa∣ued, poore and riding vpon ann 1.15 asse, and vpon a colte the sole of an asse.

10 And I will cut of theo 1.16 charrets from E∣phráim, and the horse from Ierusalém the bowe of the battel shalbe broken, and he shal speake peace vnto the heathen, & his dominion (shalbe) fromp 1.17 sea vnto sea, and from theq 1.18 riuer to the end of the land.

11 r 1.19 Thou also (shall be saued) through the blood of thy couenant. I haue losed thys 1.20 prisoners out of the pit wherein (is) no wa∣ter.

12 Turne you to thet 1.21 strong holde, yeu 1.22 pri∣soners of hope: euē to day do I declare, that I wil render thex 1.23 double vnto thee.

13 For Iudáh haue Iy 1.24 bent as a bowe for me: Ephraims hand haue I filled, & I haue ray∣sed vp thy sonnes, ô Zión, against thy son∣nes, ô Grecia, & haue made thee as a gyāts sworde.

14 And the Lord shalbe sene ouer them, and his arrowe shal go forthe as the lightning: and the Lord God shal blowe the trumpet and shall come forthe with the whirle∣windes of the South.

15 The Lord of hostes shal defend them, and they shal 〈◊〉〈◊〉 them,z 1.25 and subdue thē with sling stones, and they shal drinke, (&) make 〈◊〉〈◊〉 as thorowe wine, and they shalbe filled like bowles, (and) as the hor∣nes of the altar.

16 And the Lord their God shal 〈◊〉〈◊〉 them in that day as the flocke of his people: for (they shalbe as) thea 1.26 stones of the crowne lifted vp vpon his land.

17 For how great is his goodnes! and how greate is his beautie! corne shall make the yong men cherefull, and newe wyne the maides.
