Zechariah 9:1-3
Zechariah 9:1-6 The Message (MSG)
War Bulletin: GOD’s Message challenges the country of Hadrach. It will settle on Damascus. The whole world has its eyes on GOD. Israel isn’t the only one. That includes Hamath at the border, and Tyre and Sidon, clever as they think they are. Tyre has put together quite a kingdom for herself; she has stacked up silver like cordwood, piled gold high as haystacks. But God will certainly bankrupt her; he will dump all that wealth into the ocean and burn up what’s left in a big fire. Ashkelon will see it and panic, Gaza will wring its hands, Ekron will face a dead end. Gaza’s king will die. Ashkelon will be emptied out, And a villain will take over in Ashdod.
Zechariah 9:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Zechariah 9:1-3 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
The burden of the word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, with Damascus as its resting place (for the eyes of men, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward the LORD), And Hamath also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. For Tyre built herself a fortress And piled up silver like dust, And gold like the mire of the streets.
Zechariah 9:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)
This message is the word of the LORD. The message is against the land of Hadrach and the city of Damascus. The tribes of Israel and all people belong to the LORD. The message is also against the city of Hamath, on the border, and against Tyre and Sidon, with their skill. Tyre has built a strong wall for herself. She has piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud in the streets.
Zechariah 9:1-3 American Standard Version (ASV)
The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah); and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise. And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

This is the message from the LORD against the land of Aram and the city of Damascus, for the eyes of humanity, including all the tribes of Israel, are on the LORD.

Tyre has built a strong fortress and has made silver and gold as plentiful as dust in the streets!
