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.
8 Eternal 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]

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)
