Zakharia 9:4

9:4 Nevertheless the Lord will evict her and shove her fortifications ¹  into the sea – she will be consumed by fire.

Zakharia 13:5

13:5 Instead he will say, ‘I am no prophet – indeed, I am a farmer, for a man has made me his indentured servant since my youth.’ ² 

[9:4]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word חַיִל (khayil, “strength, wealth”) can, with certain suffixes, look exactly like חֵל (khel, “fortress, rampart”). The chiastic pattern here suggests that not Tyre’s riches but her defenses will be cast into the sea. Thus the present translation renders the term “fortifications” (so also NLT) rather than “wealth” (NASB, NRSV, TEV) or “power” (NAB, NIV).

[13:5]  ² tn Or perhaps “for the land has been my possession since my youth” (so NRSV; similar NAB).
