Zechariah 9:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ I will take away the chariots from Ephraim,^[a]

and the horses of war from Jerusalem.

The bows of war will be broken.

He will speak to all the countries and wars will finish.

He will rule from sea to sea. He will rule from the river Euphrates to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ But I made a promise to you. I made that promise true with blood. I will free your people that are in a prison, in deep dark holes without water.

¹² All you people who hoped to see your own country again, return to Jerusalem.

I tell you this now: I will give back to you twice as much as you have lost.
