Zechariah 9:9-12
English Standard Version
The Coming King of Zion
9 (A)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
(B)Behold, (C)your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
(D)humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 (E)I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and (F)the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and (G)he shall speak peace to the nations;
(H)his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from (I)the River[a] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of (J)the blood of my covenant with you,
(K)I will set your prisoners free from (L)the waterless pit.
12 Return to your stronghold, O (M)prisoners of hope;
today I declare that (N)I will restore to you double.

Zechariah 13:7-9
English Standard Version
The Shepherd Struck
7 “Awake, O sword, against (A)my shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
(B)“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
(C)and one third shall be left alive.
9 And (D)I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
(E)They will call upon my name,
and (F)I will answer them.
(G)I will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
