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

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Look! Your king comes to you; he [is] righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a male donkey, {the foal of} a female donkey! ¹⁰ And I will cut off [the] chariot from Ephraim, and [the] horse from Jerusalem; the battle bow will be cut down, and he will announce peace to the nations. His dominion [will be] from sea to sea, and from [the] River to [the] ends of [the] earth. ¹¹ [As for] you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will release your prisoners from {the waterless pit}. ¹² Return to [the] fortress, O prisoners of hope; today [I am] declaring [that] I will repay you double. ¹³ For I have bent Judah [as] my bow; I have set Ephraim [as an arrow]. I will set in motion your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan. I will wield you like the sword of a warrior. ¹⁴ Then Yahweh will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and he shall go out in the storm winds of [the] south. ¹⁵ Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour and subdue the slingstones; they will drink, they will make noise like wine, and they will be full like the sacrificial basin, [drenched] like the corners of an altar. ¹⁶ And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people; for [they are like] the stones of a diadem, glittering on 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] young women.
