Zechariah 9:7-9
New Living Translation
7 I will grab the bloody meat from their mouths
and snatch the detestable sacrifices from their teeth.
Then the surviving Philistines will worship our God
and become like a clan in Judah.[a]
The Philistines of Ekron will join my people,
as the ancient Jebusites once did.
8 I will guard my Temple
and protect it from invading armies.
I am watching closely to ensure
that no more foreign oppressors overrun my people’s land.
Zion’s Coming King
9 Rejoice, O people of Zion![b]
Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious,[c]
yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—
riding on a donkey’s colt.
