Zechariah 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his [a]teeth: but he that remaineth, even he shall be for our God, and he shall be as a prince in Judah, but [b]Ekron shall be as a Jebusite.
8 And I will camp about [c]mine House against the army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, and no oppressor shall come upon them anymore: for now [d]have I seen with mine eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion: shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee: [e]he is just, and saved himself, poor and riding upon an [f]ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
