Zechariah 9:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Foreigners will settle in Ashdod,
and I will demolish the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will snatch the bloody meat from their mouths
and their abominations from between their teeth.
They, too, will be a remnant belonging to our God;
they will be like a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will become like the Jebusites.[a]
8 I will stand guard at my house
so that no one may pass by unchallenged.
No oppressor will ever again overrun them,
for now I am determined to protect them.
Footnotes
- Zechariah 9:7 The reference is to the custom of eating meat with blood in it, contrary to the practice in Israel. The Jebusites were the former inhabitants of Jerusalem, before it was captured by David.
