Zechariah 9:9-11
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Tells about the Coming King
9 (A) Everyone in Jerusalem,
celebrate and shout!
Your king has won a victory,
and he is coming to you.
He is humble
and rides on a donkey;
he comes on the colt
of a donkey.
10 (B) I, the Lord, will take away
war chariots and horses
from Israel[a] and Jerusalem.
Bows that were made for battle
will be broken.
I will bring peace to nations,
and your king will rule
from sea to sea.
His kingdom will reach
from the Euphrates River
across the earth.
The Lord Promises To Rescue Captives
11 (C) When I made a sacred agreement
with you, my people,
we sealed it with blood.[b]
Now some of you are captives
in waterless pits,
but I will come to your rescue
