But I will camp around My house [a]because of an army,
Because of (A)him who passes by and returns;
And (B)no taskmaster will pass over them anymore,
For now I have seen with My eyes.

The Coming King of Zion

(C)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Make a loud shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your (D)king is coming to you;
He is [b](E)righteous and (F)endowed with salvation,
[c](G)Lowly and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a [d](H)colt, the [e]foal of a pack animal.
10 I will (I)cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the (J)horse from Jerusalem;
And the (K)bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak (L)peace to the nations;
And His (M)reign will be from sea to sea
And from the [f]River to the ends of the earth.
