Zechariah 9:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ They will no longer drink the blood of their animal sacrifices.
    I will remove the ‘unclean’ food from between their teeth.
The Philistines who are left will belong to our God.
    They will become a family group in Judah.
And Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
    So the Philistines will become part of Israel.
⁸ But I will camp at my temple.
    I will guard it against enemy armies.
No one will ever crush my people again.
    I will make sure it does not happen.

⁹ “City of Zion, be full of joy!
    People of Jerusalem, shout!
See, your king comes to you.
    He always does what is right.
    He has won the victory.
He is humble and riding on a donkey.
    He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.
