9 The burden of the Word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach and Damascus (its rest), when the eyes of man and of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD:
2 “And Hamath shall also border by there, Tyre also, and Sidon, though they are very wise.
3 “For Tyre built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver as the dust, and gold as the mire of the streets.
4 “Behold, the LORD will plunder her. And He will strike her power in the sea. And she shall be devoured with fire.
5 “Ashkelon shall see it, and fear. And Gaza, also, shall be very sorrowful, and Ekron. For her expectation shall be ashamed. And the king shall perish from Gaza. And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 “And the 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 teeth. But he who remains, he shall be for our God. And he shall be like a prince in Judah. But Ekron shall be like a Jebusite.
8 “And I will camp around My House, against the army, against him who passes by, and against him who returns. And no oppressor shall come upon them anymore. For now I have seen with My Eyes.”
9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is just, and having salvation, poor and riding upon a donkey —upon a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 “And I will cut off the chariots from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem. The bow of the battle shall be broken.” And He shall speak peace to the heathen. And His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the end of the land.
11 “You also shall be saved through the Blood of My Covenant. I have loosed your prisoners out of the waterless pit.
12 “Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Today I declare that I will restore double to you!
13 “For I have bent Judah as a bow for Myself. Ephraim’s hand have I filled. And I have raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and have made you as a giant’s sword.”
14 “And the LORD shall be seen over them. And His arrow shall go forth as the lightning. And the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet and shall come forth with the whirlwinds of the South.
15 “The LORD of Hosts shall defend them. And they shall devour them and subdue them with sling stones. And they shall drink and make a noise, as through wine. And they shall be filled like bowls, like the horns of the Altar.
16 “And the LORD their God shall deliver them on that day as the flock of His people. For they shall be as the stones of the crown lifted up upon His land.
17 “For how great is its goodness! And how great is its beauty! Grain shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.”
17 Then there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials and talked with me, saying to me, “Come. I will show you the damnation of the great whore who sits upon many waters;
2 with whom the kings of the Earth have committed fornication. And the inhabitants of the Earth are drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 So he carried me away into the wilderness, in the Spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast - full of names of blasphemy - which had seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls; and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
5 And on her forehead was a name written: “A Mystery. The great Babylon. The mother of whoredoms and abominations of the Earth.”
6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great marvel.
7 Then the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will show you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that bears her which has seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that you have seen was and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit; and shall go into perdition. And those who dwell on the Earth - whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world - shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains whereon the woman sits. They are also seven kings.
10 Five are fallen, and one is. And another is not yet come. And when he comes, he must remain.
11 And the beast that was and is not, is also an eighth, as well as one of the seven. And all go into destruction.
12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom but shall receive power as kings for one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind and shall give their power and authority to the beast.
14 These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them. For He is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings; and those who are on His side, called and chosen and faithful.”
15 And he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are people and multitudes and nations and tongues.
16 “And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast are those who shall hate the whore; and shall make her desolate and naked; and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 “For God has put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to give their kingdom to the beast with one consent, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18 And that woman, which you saw, is that great city which reigned over the kings of the Earth.”
145 O my God and King, I will extol You, and will bless Your Name forever and ever.
2 I will bless You daily and praise Your Name forever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and most worthy to be praised. His greatness is incomprehensible.
4 Generation to generation shall praise Your works and declare Your power.
5 I will meditate on the beauty of Your glorious majesty and Your wonderful works.
6 And they shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness.
7 They shall break out into the mention of Your great goodness and shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works.
10 All Your works praise You, O LORD, and Your Saints bless You.
11 They show the glory of Your Kingdom, and speak of Your power,
12 to cause His power and the glorious renown of His Kingdom to be known to the sons of men.
13 Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all ages.
14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are ready to fall.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You, and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand and fulfill the desire of all living things.
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and Holy in all His works.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them.
20 The LORD preserves all those who love Him; but He will destroy the wicked.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; and all flesh shall bless His Holy Name forever and ever. Praise the LORD.
32 If you have been foolish in lifting yourself up. And if you have thought wickedly. Lay your hand upon your mouth.
