⁹ Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!
    Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King comes to you!
    He is righteous, and having salvation;
    lowly, and riding on a donkey,
    even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
¹⁰ I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,
    and the horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow will be cut off;
    and he will speak peace to the nations:
    and his dominion will be from sea to sea,
    and from the River to the ends of the earth.
¹¹ As for you also,
    because of the blood of your covenant,
    I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
¹² Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope!
    Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
¹³ For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me.
    I have filled the bow with Ephraim;
and I will stir up your sons, Zion,
    against your sons, Greece,
    and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
