  • Zechariah 9:9-12

    Joy and protection for Judah and Ephraim

    Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion.
            Sing aloud, Daughter Jerusalem.
    Look, your king will come to you.
            He is righteous and victorious.
            He is humble and riding on an ass,
                on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.
    10 He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
            and the warhorse from Jerusalem.
    The bow used in battle will be cut off;
            he will speak peace to the nations.
    His rule will stretch from sea to sea,
            and from the river to the ends of the earth.
    11 Moreover, by the blood of your covenant,
        I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
    12 Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope.
            Moreover, declare today that I will return double to you.
