²⁴ And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.^(A)

²⁴ “My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow my ordinances and be careful to observe my statutes.^(A)

²¹ “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I am about to shake the heavens and the earth^(A)

²² and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations and overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders shall fall, every one by the sword of a comrade.^(A)
