Zechariah 9:5 in Context — Zechariah 9

3 Bien que Tiro se edificó fortaleza, y amontonó plata como polvo, y oro como lodo de las calles,

4 He aquí, el Señor la empobrecerá, y herirá en la mar su fortaleza, y ella será consumida de fuego.

5 Ascalón verá, y temerá; Gaza también, y se dolerá en gran manera: asimismo Ecrón, porque su esperanza será confundida; y de Gaza perecerá el rey, y Ascalón no será habitada.

6 Y habitará en Asdod un extranjero, y yo talaré la soberbia de los Palestinos;

7 Y quitaré sus sangres de su boca, y sus abominaciones de sus dientes, y quedarán ellos también para nuestro Dios, y serán como capitanes en Judá, y Ecrón como el Jebuseo.
