Zechariah 9:9-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Coming Ruler of God’s People
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you;
triumphant and victorious is he,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(A)
10 He[a] will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and he shall command peace to the nations;
his dominion shall be from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth.(B)
11 As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.(C)
12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
today I declare that I will restore to you double.(D)
13 For I have bent Judah as my bow;
I have made Ephraim its arrow.[b]
I will arouse your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, O Greece,
and wield you like a warrior’s sword.(E)

Lexham English Bible
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Look! Your king comes to you;
he is righteous and victorious,
humble and riding on a donkey,
and on a male donkey, the foal of[a] a female donkey!
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,
and the horse from Jerusalem;
the battle bow will be cut down,
and he will announce peace to the nations.
His dominion will be from sea to sea,
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant,
I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.[c]
12 Return to the fortress,
O prisoners of hope;
today I am declaring that I will repay you double.
13 For I have bent Judah as my bow;
I have set Ephraim as an arrow.
I will set in motion your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, O Javan.[d]
I will wield you like the sword of a warrior.
