8. Then I will make camp at My house with a garrison,so that no one can pass back and forth.And no oppressor will pass through them,for now I see with My eyes.
9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!And cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!See, your king is coming to you;he is righteous and able to deliver,he is humble and riding on a donkey,a colt, the offspring of a donkey.
10. I will cut off the chariot from Ephraimand the horse from Jerusalem;and the bow for battle will be cut off.He will speak peace to the nations;and his dominion will be from one sea to another,and from the Great River to the ends of the earth.
11. And as for you, because of the blood of your covenant,I will send your prisoners from the empty, waterless pits.
12. Return to your stronghold, prisoners who now have hope.Today I declare that I will return to you a double portion.
13. Because I have bent Judah as My bowand fitted the bow with Ephraim.I will stir up your sons, O Zion,against your sons, O Greece,and will set you like the sword of a warrior.
14. Then the Lord will appear over them,and His arrow will go out like lightning.The Lord God will sound His trumpet,and will march forth like storm winds of southern Teman.
