Zechariah 9:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷I will remove bloody food from his mouth
        and pieces of unclean food from between his teeth.
He will be a survivor who belongs to our God.
        He will be like a chieftain in Judah;
            Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
⁸I will encamp before my house as a guard
    against anyone departing or returning.
        A slave driver will no longer pass through against them,
            for I have seen you^[a] with my eyes.

Joy and protection for Judah and Ephraim

⁹Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion.
        Sing aloud, Daughter Jerusalem.
Look, your king will come to you.
        He is righteous and victorious.
        He is humble and riding on an ass,
            on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.
