Zechariah 9
New King James Version
Israel Defended Against Enemies
9 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord
Against the land of Hadrach,
And (A)Damascus its resting place
(For (B)the eyes of men
And all the tribes of Israel
Are on the Lord);
2 Also against (C)Hamath, which borders on it,
And against (D)Tyre and (E)Sidon, though they are very (F)wise.
3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, (G)the Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy (H)her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (I)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 “A[b] mixed race shall settle (J)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (K)Philistines.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
8 (L)I will camp around My house
Because of the army,
Because of him who passes by and him who returns.
No more shall an oppressor pass through them,
For now I have seen with My eyes.
The Coming King(M)
9 “Rejoice (N)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, (O)your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I (P)will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The (Q)battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be (R)‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’
God Will Save His People
11 “As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your (S)prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold,
(T)You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore (U)double to you.
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (V)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (W)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (X)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [c]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will (Y)save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For (Z)they shall be like the [d]jewels of a crown,
(AA)Lifted like a banner over His land—
17 For (AB)how great is [e]its goodness
And how great its (AC)beauty!
(AD)Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
9 A prophecy:(A)
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus(B)—
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord—[a]
2 and on Hamath(C) too, which borders on it,
and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy(G) her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.(H)
5 Ashkelon(I) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(J) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(K)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(L)
8 But I will encamp(M) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(N)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(O)
The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(P)
Shout,(Q) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(R)
righteous and victorious,(S)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(T)
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(U)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.(V)
He will proclaim peace(W) to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.(X)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(Y) with you,
I will free your prisoners(Z) from the waterless pit.(AA)
12 Return to your fortress,(AB) you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice(AC) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(AD)
and fill it with Ephraim.(AE)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(AF)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(AG)
The Lord Will Appear
14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(AH)
his arrow will flash like lightning.(AI)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(AJ)
he will march in the storms(AK) of the south,
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(AL) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(AM)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(AN)
they will be full like a bowl(AO)
used for sprinkling[c] the corners(AP) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(AQ)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(AR)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.

Juicio contra las naciones vecinas
9 Profecía de la palabra del Señor contra la tierra de Hadrac y Damasco, su lugar de reposo (porque hacia el Señor están puestos los ojos de los hombres y de todas las tribus de Israel(A)),
2 Y también contra Hamat(B), que linda con ella,
Y contra Tiro y Sidón, aunque sean muy sabias(C).
3 Tiro se ha edificado una fortaleza(D),
Y ha amontonado plata como polvo(E)
Y oro(F) como barro de las calles.
4 Pero el Señor la despojará,
Arrojará al mar su riqueza(G)
Y ella será consumida por el fuego(H).
5 Ascalón lo verá y temerá,
También Gaza, y se retorcerá con gran dolor,
Lo mismo Ecrón, pues su esperanza ha sido confundida.
Además, perecerá el rey de Gaza,
Y Ascalón no será habitada.
6 Un pueblo bastardo habitará en Asdod,
Y Yo destruiré el orgullo de los filisteos(I).
7 Quitaré la sangre de su boca,
Y sus abominaciones de entre sus dientes.
Entonces él será también un remanente para nuestro Dios,
Será como una tribu en Judá,
Y Ecrón será como el jebuseo.
8 Pero Yo acamparé junto a Mi casa como un guardián
Para que nadie vaya ni venga(J),
Y no pasará más sobre ellos el opresor(K),
Porque ahora vigilo con Mis ojos.
Restauración del pueblo
9 ¶¡Regocíjate sobremanera, hija de Sión!
¡Da voces de júbilo, hija de Jerusalén(L)!
Mira, tu Rey viene a ti(M),
Justo(N) y dotado de salvación(O),
Humilde(P), montado en un asno(Q),
En un pollino, hijo de asna.
10 Destruiré el carro de Efraín
Y el caballo(R) de Jerusalén,
Y el arco de guerra será destruido(S).
Él hablará paz a las naciones(T),
Y Su dominio será de mar a mar,
Y desde el Río[a] hasta los confines de la tierra(U).
11 ¶En cuanto a ti, por la sangre de Mi pacto contigo(V),
He librado a tus cautivos de la cisterna(W)
En la que no hay agua.
12 Vuelvan a la fortaleza(X),
Oh cautivos de la esperanza(Y);
Hoy mismo anuncio
Que te restituiré el doble(Z).
13 Porque entesaré a Judá como Mi arco,
Y cargaré el arco con Efraín.
Provocaré a tus hijos(AA), oh Sión,
Contra tus hijos, oh Grecia,
Y te haré como espada(AB) de guerrero(AC).
14 Entonces el Señor aparecerá sobre ellos(AD),
Y Su flecha saldrá como un rayo(AE);
El Señor Dios tocará la trompeta(AF),
Y caminará en los torbellinos(AG) del sur.
15 El Señor de los ejércitos los defenderá(AH);
Ellos devorarán(AI) y pisotearán las piedras de la honda(AJ),
Beberán y alborotarán como embriagados de vino(AK),
Se llenarán como tazón de sacrificio,
Empapados como las esquinas del altar(AL).
16 Los salvará el Señor su Dios aquel día
Como rebaño de Su pueblo(AM);
Porque como piedras de una corona
Brillan(AN) sobre Su tierra.
17 Pues ¡cuánta es su gracia y cuánta su hermosura(AO)!
El trigo hará florecer a los jóvenes(AP) y el vino nuevo a las vírgenes.
