I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and (E)overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, (F)every one by the sword of his brother. 23 On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O (G)Zerubbabel (H)my servant, the son of (I)Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you (J)like a[a] signet ring, (K)for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”
