I will protect my country. I will not let enemy armies pass through it. I will not let them hurt my people anymore. With my own eyes I have seen how much my people have suffered.”

The Future King

People of Zion,[a] rejoice!
    People of Jerusalem, shout with joy!
Look, your king is coming to you!
    He is the good king who won the victory, but he is humble.
    He is riding on a donkey, on a young donkey born from a work animal.
10 I will take the war chariots away from Ephraim
    and the horse soldiers from Jerusalem.
    I will destroy the bows used in war.

Your king will bring news of peace to the nations.
    He will rule from sea to sea,
    from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
