Zechariah 9:9-13
Legacy Standard Bible
The Coming King of Zion
9 (A)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Make a loud shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your (B)king is coming to you;
He is [a](C)righteous and (D)endowed with salvation,
[b](E)Lowly and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a [c](F)colt, the [d]foal of a pack animal.
10 I will (G)cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the (H)horse from Jerusalem;
And the (I)bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak (J)peace to the nations;
And His (K)reign will be from sea to sea
And from the [e]River to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of the (L)blood of your covenant,
I have set your (M)prisoners free from the [f]waterless pit.
12 Return to the [g](N)stronghold, O prisoners [h]who have the (O)hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will return (P)double to you.
13 For I will (Q)bend Judah [i]as My bow;
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will rouse up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O [j](R)Greece;
And I will make you like a (S)mighty man’s sword.

Evangelical Heritage Version
Your Savior and King Is Coming!
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
Look! Your King is coming to you.
He is righteous and brings salvation.
He is humble and is riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the horse from Jerusalem.
The battle bow will be taken away,
and he will proclaim peace to the nations.
His kingdom will extend from sea to sea,
from the River[a] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you,
because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners who have hope.
This very day I declare that I will restore double to you.
13 For I will bend Judah as my bow,
and I will load it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,
and I will make you like a strong warrior’s sword.
