rsv Zechariah:9:9-17
rsv@Zechariah:9:9 @ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass.
rsv@Zechariah:9:10 @ I will cut off the chariot from E'phraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations; his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
rsv@Zechariah:9:11 @ As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your captives free from the waterless pit.
rsv@Zechariah:9:12 @ Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.
rsv@Zechariah:9:13 @ For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made E'phraim its arrow. I will brandish your sons, O Zion, over your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior's sword.
rsv@Zechariah:9:14 @ Then the LORD will appear over them, and his arrow go forth like lightning; the Lord GOD will sound the trumpet, and march forth in the whirlwinds of the south.
rsv@Zechariah:9:15 @ The LORD of hosts will protect them, and they shall devour and tread down the slingers; and they shall drink their blood like wine, and be full like a bowl, drenched like the corners of the altar.
rsv@Zechariah:9:16 @ On that day the LORD their God will save them for they are the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land.
rsv@Zechariah:9:17 @ Yea, how good and how fair it shall be! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
