Zechariah 9:9-17 - The Coming Of Zion's King

⁹ "Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; cry out, daughter of Jerusalem! Look! Your king is coming to you. He is righteous, and he is able to save. He is humble, and is riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey. ¹⁰ I will banish chariots from Ephraim and horses from Jerusalem. War weapons will be banished, and your king will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest portion of the earth. ¹¹ Now concerning you and my blood covenant with you, I have liberated your prisoners from a waterless pit. ¹² Return to your fortress, you prisoners who have hope. Even today I am telling you: In return I will repay you double. ¹³ For I have bent Judah as if it were my bow, loading it with Ephraim. I raised up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, wielding you like a mighty warrior's sword." ¹⁴ The LORD will appear over them his arrow will shoot like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go out with the southern windstorm. ¹⁵ The LORD of the Heavenly Armies will defend them; they will devour and conquer those who sling stones. They will drink and be boisterous like those who are drunk. They will be filled to the brim with blood, like the corners of the altar. ¹⁶ The LORD their God will save them at that time as his very own flock of people, because they are his crown jewels, exalted throughout his land. ¹⁷ For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the virgins.
