Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Zechariah 9
⁹ Rejoice 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.
¹⁰ I 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.
¹¹ As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
¹² Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
¹³ For 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.
¹⁴ Then 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.
¹⁵ The 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.
¹⁶ And 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.
¹⁷ For what comeliness and beauty will be theirs! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
Zechariah 10
¹ Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain- The Lord who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.
² For the teraphim speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
