¶ The .ix. Chapter. ¶ The conuersyon of the Gentyls. The commyng of Chryst syttynge on an Asse.

A   The worde of the Lorde shalbe receaued at Adrach, ∧ Damascus shalbe hys offeryng: for the eyes of all men ∧ of þe; trybes of Israel shall loke vp vnto þe; Lord. The borders of Hemath shall be herde therby, Tirus also ∧ Sidon, for they are very wyse, note Tirus shall make her self str&obar;ge, heape vp syluer as þe; sande, ∧ golde as þe; claye of þe; stretes. Behold, þe; Lord shal take her in, ∧ haue her in possessyon: note he shal smyte downe her power into þe; see, and she shalbe c&obar;sumed &wt; fyre. This shall Ascalon se, ∧ be afrayed. noteGaza shalbe very sory, so shall Accaron also, because her hope is come to confusion. B   For þe; kynge of Gaza shal perysh, ∧ at Ascalon shall no man dwell.

Straungers shall dwell at Asdod, ∧ as for þe; pryde of the Philystynes, I shall rote it out. noteTheyr bloude wyll I take awaye from theyr mouth, ∧ theyr abhomynacy&obar;s from among theyr teeth. Thus they shalbe left for our God, yee, they shalbe as a prince in Iuda, ∧ Accaron lyke as a Iebusy. And so wyll I c&obar;pase my house rounde about &wt; my men of warre goynge to ∧ fro: that no oppressoure come vpon th&ebar; eny more. For that haue I sene now with myne eyes.

noteReioyce þu; greatly, O daughter Syon be glad, O daughter Ierusal&ebar;. For lo, thy kynge c&obar;meth vnto the, euen the ryghteous and Sauioure, Lowly ∧ symple is he, he rydeth vpon an asse, ∧ vpon þe; foale of an asse. I will rote out þe; charrettes fr&obar; Ephraim, ∧ the horse from Ierusalem, þe; batel bowes shalbe destroyed. C   He shall geue the doctrine of peace vnto þe; Heathen, note ∧ his dominyon shalbe from þe; one see to þe; other, ∧ from the floudes to the endes of the worlde.

Thou also thorow the bloude of thy couena&ubar;t: shalt let note thy presoners out of the note pitte wher &ibar; his no water. Turne you now to þe; str&obar;ge holde, ye þt; be in preson, note ∧ longe sore to be deliuered. And this daye I bryng þe; worde, þt; I wyll rewarde þe; double agayne. For Iuda haue I bent out as a bowe for me ∧ Ephraim haue I fylled. Thy sonnes, O Si&obar;, will I rayse vp agaynst þe; Grekes, ∧ make þe; as a gyauntes swearde: þe; Lorde God shalbe sene aboue them, ∧ hys dartes shall go forth as þe; lyghtenynge. The Lord God shall blowe the trompet, and shal come forth as a storme out of the south.

D   The Lord of hoostes shall defende them, they shal c&obar;sume ∧ deuoure, ∧ subdue them with note slynge stones. They shall dryncke ∧ rage, as it were thorow wyne. They shalbe fylled lyke þe; basens, ∧ as þe; hornes of þe; aulter. The Lord their God shal delyuer them in the daye, as þe; flock of his people: ffor as precyous stones of a dyademe they shall be sett vp ouer his lande. O how prosperous and goodly a thynge shal that be? The corne shall make þe; yonge men chearefull, and the new wyne the maydens.
