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.

The Coming King of Zion

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 Ephraim
    and 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.
