Zechariah 9:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ I will protect my Temple
    from armies who come and go.
No one will hurt my people again
    because now I am guarding it.

⁹ Rejoice, people of Jerusalem.
    Shout for joy, people of Jerusalem.
Your king is coming to you.
    He does what is right, and he saves.
    He is gentle and riding on a donkey.
    He is on the colt of a donkey.
¹⁰ I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the horses from Jerusalem.
    The bows used in war will be broken.
The king will talk to the nations about peace.
    His kingdom will go from sea to sea,
    and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
