8 I will set up camp at My house against an army, against those who march back and forth,and no oppressor will march against them again,for now I have seen with My own eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem!Look, your King is coming to you;He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey,on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraimand the horse from Jerusalem.The bow of war will be removed,and He will proclaim peace to the nations.His dominion will extend from sea to sea,from the Euphrates Riverto the ends of the earth.
11 As for you,because of the blood of your covenant, I will release your prisonersfrom the waterless cistern.
12 Return to a stronghold,you prisoners who have hope;today I declare that I will restore double to you.
13 For I will bend Judah as My bow;I will fill that bow with Ephraim.I will rouse your sons, Zion,against your sons, Greece. I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
14 Then the Lord will appear over them,and His arrow will fly like lightning.The Lord God will sound the trumpetand advance with the southern storms.
