Zechariah 9:9-17

New International Version

⁹ Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!^(A)
    Shout,^(B) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,^(C)
    righteous and victorious,^(D)
lowly and riding on a donkey,^(E)
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.^(F)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
    and the battle bow will be broken.^(G)
He will proclaim peace^(H) to the nations.
    His rule will extend from sea to sea
    and from the River^[a] to the ends of the earth.^(I)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant^(J) with you,
    I will free your prisoners^(K) from the waterless pit.^(L)
12 Return to your fortress,^(M) you prisoners of hope;
    even now I announce that I will restore twice^(N) as much to you.
¹³ I will bend Judah as I bend my bow^(O)
    and fill it with Ephraim.^(P)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
    against your sons, Greece,^(Q)
    and make you like a warrior’s sword.^(R)

¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear over them;^(S)
    his arrow will flash like lightning.^(T)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;^(U)
    he will march in the storms^(V) of the south,
¹⁵     and the Lord Almighty will shield^(W) them.
They will destroy
    and overcome with slingstones.^(X)
They will drink and roar as with wine;^(Y)
    they will be full like a bowl^(Z)
    used for sprinkling^[b] the corners^(AA) of the altar.
¹⁶ The Lord their God will save his people on that day^(AB)
    as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
    like jewels in a crown.^(AC)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
