Zechariah 9:9-17

9 1RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726! ShoutH7321 in triumph, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389! BeholdH2009, your 2kingH4428 is comingH935 to you; He is 3 4justH6662 and 5endowedH3467 with salvationH3467, 6HumbleH6041, and mountedH7392 on a donkeyH2543, Even on a 7coltH5895, the 8foalH1121 of a donkeyH860.10I will 9cutH3772 offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669 And the 10horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389; And the 11bowH7198 of warH4421 will be cutH3772 offH3772. And He will speakH1696 12peaceH7965 to the nationsH1471; And His 13dominionH4915 will be from seaH3220 to seaH3220, And from the 14RiverH5104 to the endsH657 of the earthH776.

11As for you alsoH1571, because of the 15bloodH1818 of My covenantH1285 with you, I have setH7971 your 16prisonersH615 freeH7971 from the 17waterlessH369 H4325 pitH953.12ReturnH7725 to the 18 19strongholdH1225, O prisonersH615 20who have the 21hopeH8615; This veryH1571 dayH3117 I am declaringH5046 that I will restoreH7725 22doubleH4932 to you.13For I will 23bendH1869 JudahH3063 24as My bowH7198, I will fillH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669. And I will stirH5782 up your sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, againstH5921 your sonsH1121, O 25GreeceH3120; And I will makeH7760 you like a 26warrior’sH1368 swordH2719.14Then the LordH3068 will appearH7200 27overH5921 them, And His 28arrowH2671 will goH3318 forthH3318 like lightningH1300; And the LordH136 29GodH3068 will blowH8628 the 30trumpetH7782, And will marchH1980 in the 31stormH5591 windsH5591 of the southH8486.15 32The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will defendH1598 them. And they will 33devourH398 and trampleH3533 on the 34slingH7050 stonesH68; And they will drinkH8354 and be 35boisterousH1993 as with wineH3196; And they will be filledH4390 like a sacrificial basinH4219, Drenched like the 36cornersH2106 of the altarH4196.16And the LordH3068 their GodH430 will 37saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 As the flockH6629 of His peopleH5971; For they are as the stonesH68 of a 38crownH5145, 39SparklingH5264 in His landH127.17For whatH4100 40 41comelinessH2898 and 42beautyH3308 will be 43theirs! GrainH1715 will make the youngH970 menH970 flourishH5107, and newH8492 wineH8492 the virginsH1330.
