Zechariah 9

The Message Bible MSG

1 War Bulletin: God's Message challenges the country of Hadrach. It will settle on Damascus. The whole world has its eyes on God. Israel isn't the only one.

2 That includes Hamath at the border, and Tyre and Sidon, clever as they think they are.

3 Tyre has put together quite a kingdom for herself; she has stacked up silver like cordwood, piled gold high as haystacks.

4 But God will certainly bankrupt her; he will dump all that wealth into the ocean and burn up what's left in a big fire.

5 Ashkelon will see it and panic, Gaza will wring its hands, Ekron will face a dead end. Gaza's king will die. Ashkelon will be emptied out,

6 And a villain will take over in Ashdod. "I'll take proud Philistia down a peg:

7 I'll make him spit out his bloody booty and abandon his vile ways." What's left will be all God's - a core of survivors, a family brought together in Judah - But enemies like Ekron will go the way of the Jebusites, into the dustbin of history.

8 "I will set up camp in my home country and defend it against invaders. Nobody is going to hurt my people ever again. I'm keeping my eye on them. A Humble King Riding a Donkey

9 "Shout and cheer, Daughter Zion! Raise the roof, Daughter Jerusalem! Your king is coming! a good king who makes all things right, a humble king riding a donkey, a mere colt of a donkey.

10 I've had it with war - no more chariots in Ephraim, no more war horses in Jerusalem, no more swords and spears, bows and arrows. He will offer peace to the nations, a peaceful rule worldwide, from the four winds to the seven seas.

11 "And you, because of my blood covenant with you, I'll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells.

12 Come home, hope-filled prisoners! This very day I'm declaring a double bonus - everything you lost returned twice-over!

13 Judah is now my weapon, the bow I'll pull, setting Ephraim as an arrow to the string. I'll wake up your sons, O Zion, to counter your sons, O Greece. From now on people are my swords."

14 Then God will come into view, his arrows flashing like lightning! Master God will blast his trumpet and set out in a whirlwind.

15 God-of-the-Angel-Armies will protect them - all-out war, The war to end all wars, no holds barred.

16 Their God will save the day. He'll rescue them. They'll become like sheep, gentle and soft, Or like gemstones in a crown, catching all the colors of the sun.

17 Then how they'll shine! shimmer! glow! the young men robust, the young women lovely!

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 onus verbi Domini in terra Adrach et Damasci requiei eius quia Domini est oculus hominis et omnium tribuum Israhel

2 Emath quoque in terminis eius et Tyrus et Sidon adsumpserunt quippe sibi sapientiam valde

3 et aedificavit Tyrus munitionem suam et coacervavit argentum quasi humum et aurum ut lutum platearum

4 ecce Dominus possidebit eam et percutiet in mari fortitudinem eius et haec igni devorabitur

5 videbit Ascalon et timebit et Gaza et dolebit nimis et Accaron quoniam confusa est spes eius et peribit rex de Gaza et Ascalon non habitabitur

6 et sedebit separator in Azoto et disperdam superbiam Philisthinorum

7 et auferam sanguinem eius de ore eius et abominationes eius de medio dentium eius et relinquetur etiam ipse Deo nostro et erit quasi dux in Iuda et Accaron quasi Iebuseus

8 et circumdabo domum meam ex his qui militant mihi euntes et revertentes et non transibit super eos ultra exactor quia nunc vidi in oculis meis

9 exulta satis filia Sion iubila filia Hierusalem ecce rex tuus veniet tibi iustus et salvator ipse pauper et ascendens super asinum et super pullum filium asinae

10 et disperdam quadrigam ex Ephraim et equum de Hierusalem et dissipabitur arcus belli et loquetur pacem gentibus et potestas eius a mari usque ad mare et a fluminibus usque ad fines terrae

11 tu quoque in sanguine testamenti tui emisisti vinctos tuos de lacu in quo non est aqua

12 convertimini ad munitionem vincti spei hodie quoque adnuntians duplicia reddam tibi

13 quoniam extendi mihi Iudam quasi arcum implevi Ephraim et suscitabo filios tuos Sion super filios tuos Graecia et ponam te quasi gladium fortium

14 et Dominus Deus super eos videbitur et exibit ut fulgur iaculum eius et Dominus Deus in tuba canet et vadet in turbine austri

15 Dominus exercituum proteget eos et devorabunt et subicient lapidibus fundae et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi vino et replebuntur ut fialae et quasi cornua altaris

16 et salvabit eos Dominus Deus eorum in die illa ut gregem populi sui quia lapides sancti elevantur super terram eius

17 quid enim bonum eius est et quid pulchrum eius nisi frumentum electorum et vinum germinans virgines
