Zechariah 9:9-13

Common English Bible

⁹ Rejoice 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.
¹⁰ He^[a] will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
        and the warhorse from Jerusalem.
The bow used in battle will be cut off;
        he will speak peace to the nations.
His rule will stretch from sea to sea,
        and from the river to the ends of the earth.
¹¹ Moreover,^[b] by the blood of your covenant,
    I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
¹² Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope.
        Moreover, declare today that I will return double to you.
¹³ Indeed, I myself will bend Judah as a bow;
        I will fill it with Ephraim.
Zion, I will rouse your sons against your sons. Greece, I will make you
        like a warrior’s sword.
