Zechariah 9:7 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm going to stop them from their violent ways and disgusting practices — no more of that. But whoever's left standing will belong to our God. They'll become leaders in Judah, and even Ekron will be like the Jebusites who joined us.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's turning enemies into family and giving them leadership roles.

They are following the disgusting practices of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.'
