Zechariah 9:9-13
Christian Standard Bible
The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem!
Look, your King is coming to you;
he is righteous and victorious,[a]
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(A)
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the horse from Jerusalem.
The bow of war will be removed,
and he will proclaim peace to the nations.
His dominion will extend from sea to sea,
from the Euphrates River
to the ends of the earth.(B)
11 As for you,
because of the blood of your covenant,(C)
I will release your prisoners
from the waterless cistern.(D)
12 Return to a stronghold,
you prisoners who have hope;
today I declare that I will restore double to you.(E)
13 For I will bend Judah as my bow;
I will fill that bow with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece.[b](F)
I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
