Zechariah 9:9-11

Good News Translation

^9 (A)Rejoice, rejoice, people of Zion!
    Shout for joy, you people of Jerusalem!
    Look, your king is coming to you!
He comes triumphant and victorious,
    but humble and riding on a donkey—
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

“I will remove the war chariots from Israel
    and take the horses from Jerusalem;
    the bows used in battle will be destroyed.
Your king will make peace among the nations;
    he will rule from sea to sea,
    from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.”

“Because of my covenant with you
    that was sealed by the blood of sacrifices,
I will set your people free—
    free from the waterless pit of exile.
