Zechariah 9:7-9

The Voice

⁷ I will cleanse those children from pagan practices
such as drinking blood and chewing on forbidden meats.

Those people will then belong to our God, a remnant for the Lord.
They will become like a clan^[a] in Judah,
And those in Ekron will be like the surviving Jebusites
who became God’s people when David conquered Jerusalem.

⁸Eternal One: When that day comes, I will set up an army camp before My house
        to guard My lands against those who’d march against My people.
    Never again will they bow to an oppressor,
        for I am watching over them Myself.

⁹    Cry out with joy, O daughter of Zion!
        Shout jubilantly, O daughter of Jerusalem!
    Look—your King is coming;
        He is righteous and able to save.
    He comes seated humbly on a donkey,
        on a colt, a foal of a donkey.^[b]
