Zechariah 9:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 They will no longer eat meat with the blood still in it or any other forbidden food. Any Philistine left alive will become a part of my people; they will be just one more tribe in Judah. The people of Ekron will become a part of my people, as the Jebusites did. 8 I will protect my country. I will not let enemy armies pass through it. I will not let them hurt my people anymore. With my own eyes I have seen how much my people have suffered.”
The Future King
9 People of Zion,[a] rejoice!
People of Jerusalem, shout with joy!
Look, your king is coming to you!
He is the good king who won the victory, but he is humble.
He is riding on a donkey, on a young donkey born from a work animal.

New International Version
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(A)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(B)
8 But I will encamp(C) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(D)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(E)
