Zechariah 9:9-17

9 1Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your 2king is coming to you; He is 3 4righteous and 5endowed with salvation, 6Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a 7colt, the 8foal of a donkey.10And I will 9eliminate the chariot from Ephraim And the 10horse from Jerusalem; And the 11bow of war will be eliminated. And He will speak 12peace to the nations; And His 13dominion will be from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

11As for you also, because of the 14blood of My covenant with you, I have set your 15prisoners free from the 16waterless pit.12Return to the 17 18stronghold, you prisoners 19who have the 20hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore 21double to you.13For I will 22bend Judah 23as My bow, I will fill the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, 24Greece; And I will make you like a 25warrior’s sword.14Then the Lord will appear 26over them, And His 27arrow will go forth like lightning; And the Lord 28God will blow the 29trumpet, And march in the 30storm winds of the south.15 31The Lord of armies will protect them. And they will 32devour and trample on the 33slingstones; And they will drink and be 34boisterous as with wine; And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin, Drenched like the 35corners of the altar.16And the Lord their God will 36save them on that day As the flock of His people; For they are like the precious stones of a 37crown, Sparkling on His land.17For how great will 38their 39loveliness and 40beauty be! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the virgins.
