Zechariah 9:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ A mongrel people will dwell in Ashdod,
    and I will cut down the pride of Philistia.
⁷ I will take away the bloodshed from its mouth,
    and the abominations from between its teeth.
Even it will be a remnant for our God.
    It will be like a tribe of a clan in Judah,
    and Ekron like the Jebusites.
⁸ Then I will make camp at My house with a garrison,
    so that no one can pass back and forth.
And no oppressor will pass through them,
    for now I see with My eyes.
