Zechariah 9:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the [a]stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his [b]teeth: but he that remaineth, even he shall be for our God, and he shall be as a prince in Judah, but [c]Ekron shall be as a Jebusite.
8 And I will camp about [d]mine House against the army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressor shall come upon them anymore: for now [e]have I seen with mine eyes.
