Zechariah 9:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And I will camp about [a]mine House against the army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressor shall come upon them anymore: for now [b]have I seen with mine eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion: shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee: [c]he is just, and saved himself, poor and riding upon an [d]ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the [e]chariots from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem: the bow of the battle shall be broken, and he shall speak peace unto the heathen, and his dominion shall be from [f]sea unto sea, and from the [g]River to the end of the land.
