7And I will remove their blood from their mouth
         And their detestable things from between their teeth.
         Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
         And be like a clan in Judah,
         And Ekron like a Jebusite.

8But I will camp around My house because of an army,
         Because of him who passes by and returns;
         And no oppressor will pass over them anymore,
         For now I have seen with My eyes.

9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
         Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
         Behold, your king is coming to you;
         He is just and endowed with salvation,
         Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
         Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

10I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
         And the horse from Jerusalem;
         And the bow of war will be cut off.
         And He will speak peace to the nations;
         And His dominion will be from sea to sea,
         And from the River to the ends of the earth.

Deliverance of Judah and Ephraim

11As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you,
         I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

12Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope;
         This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.

13For I will bend Judah as My bow,
         I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
         And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece;
         And I will make you like a warrior’s sword.

14Then the LORD will appear over them,
         And His arrow will go forth like lightning;
         And the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet,
         And will march in the storm winds of the south.

15The LORD of hosts will defend them.
         And they will devour and trample on the sling stones;
         And they will drink and be boisterous as with wine;
         And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
         Drenched like the corners of the altar.

16And the LORD their God will save them in that day
         As the flock of His people;
         For they are as the stones of a crown,
         Sparkling in His land.

17For what comeliness and beauty will be theirs!
         Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
