Zechariah 9
Judgment on Israel's Enemies
An Oracle
1 The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach
and will rest upon Damascus
for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel
are on the LORD[a]2 and upon Hamath too, which borders on it,
and upon Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skillful.3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.5 Ashkelon will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God
and become leaders in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.8 But I will defend my house
against marauding forces.
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.
The Coming of Zion's King
9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king [ b] comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the war-horses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River [c] to the ends of the earth. [d]11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.12 Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow
and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, O Greece,
and make you like a warrior's sword.
The LORD Will Appear
14 Then the LORD will appear over them;
his arrow will flash like lightning.
The Sovereign LORD will sound the trumpet;
he will march in the storms of the south,15 and the LORD Almighty will shield them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.
They will drink and roar as with wine;
they will be full like a bowl
used for sprinkling [e] the corners of the altar.16 The LORD their God will save them on that day
as the flock of his people.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.

A Promised Ruler From Bethlehem
1 Marshal your troops, O city of troops, [a]
for a siege is laid against us.
They will strike Israel's ruler
on the cheek with a rod.2 "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans [ b] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins [c] are from of old,
from ancient times. [d] "3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned
until the time when she who is in labor gives birth
and the rest of his brothers return
to join the Israelites.4 He will stand and shepherd his flock
in the strength of the LORD,
in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness
will reach to the ends of the earth.5 And he will be their peace.Deliverance and Destruction
When the Assyrian invades our land
and marches through our fortresses,
we will raise against him seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.6 They will rule [e] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod with drawn sword. [f]
He will deliver us from the Assyrian
when he invades our land
and marches into our borders.7 The remnant of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the LORD,
like showers on the grass,
which do not wait for man
or linger for mankind.8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles as it goes,
and no one can rescue.9 Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.10 "In that day," declares the LORD,
"I will destroy your horses from among you
and demolish your chariots.11 I will destroy the cities of your land
and tear down all your strongholds.12 I will destroy your witchcraft
and you will no longer cast spells.13 I will destroy your carved images
and your sacred stones from among you;
you will no longer bow down
to the work of your hands.14 I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles [g]
and demolish your cities.15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath
upon the nations that have not obeyed me."

26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.
Then all mankind will know
that I, the LORD, am your Savior,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

Psalm 69
For the director of music. To the tune of "Lilies." Of David.
1 Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.2 I sink in the miry depths,
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.3 I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.4 Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.5 You know my folly, O God;
my guilt is not hidden from you.6 May those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me,
O Lord, the LORD Almighty;
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me,
O God of Israel.7 For I endure scorn for your sake,
and shame covers my face.8 I am a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my own mother's sons;9 for zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.10 When I weep and fast,
I must endure scorn;11 when I put on sackcloth,
people make sport of me.12 Those who sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.13 But I pray to you, O LORD,
in the time of your favor;
in your great love, O God,
answer me with your sure salvation.14 Rescue me from the mire,
do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
from the deep waters.15 Do not let the floodwaters engulf me
or the depths swallow me up
or the pit close its mouth over me.16 Answer me, O LORD, out of the goodness of your love;
in your great mercy turn to me.17 Do not hide your face from your servant;
answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.18 Come near and rescue me;
redeem me because of my foes.19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.20 Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found none.21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar for my thirst.22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and [a] a trap.23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.24 Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.25 May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.26 For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.27 Charge them with crime upon crime;
do not let them share in your salvation.28 May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous.29 I am in pain and distress;
may your salvation, O God, protect me.30 I will praise God's name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.31 This will please the LORD more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.32 The poor will see and be glad
you who seek God, may your hearts live!33 The LORD hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.34 Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that move in them,35 for God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah.
Then people will settle there and possess it;36 the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.

1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.2 The LORD will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land
and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.4 I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you."5 My enemies say of me in malice,
"When will he die and his name perish?"6 Whenever one comes to see me,
he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;
then he goes out and spreads it abroad.7 All my enemies whisper together against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,8 "A vile disease has beset him;
he will never get up from the place where he lies."9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted,
he who shared my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me.10 But you, O LORD, have mercy on me;
raise me up, that I may repay them.11 I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.12 In my integrity you uphold me
and set me in your presence forever.13 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.2 The LORD will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land
and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

I don't have to defend any of them.

They aren't wrong. You see them as coincidence. What's the problem?

Zechariah 111 Open your doors, O Lebanon,
so that fire may devour your cedars!2 Wail, O pine tree, for the cedar has fallen;
the stately trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks of Bashan;
the dense forest has been cut down!3 Listen to the wail of the shepherds;
their rich pastures are destroyed!
Listen to the roar of the lions;
the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
Two Shepherds
4 This is what the LORD my God says: "Pasture the flock marked for slaughter. 5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Praise the LORD, I am rich!' Their own shepherds do not spare them. 6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land," declares the LORD. "I will hand everyone over to his neighbor and his king. They will oppress the land, and I will not rescue them from their hands."7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock. 8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, "I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another's flesh."10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the LORD.12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.13 And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.15 Then the LORD said to me, "Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs.17 "Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
May his arm be completely withered,
his right eye totally blinded!"

16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs.

25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.

24 "Seventy 'sevens' [c] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish [d] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. [e]
