⁹ Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!^(A)
    Shout,^(B) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,^(C)
    righteous and victorious,^(D)
lowly and riding on a donkey,^(E)
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.^(F)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
    and the battle bow will be broken.^(G)
He will proclaim peace^(H) to the nations.
    His rule will extend from sea to sea
    and from the River^[a] to the ends of the earth.^(I)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant^(J) with you,
    I will free your prisoners^(K) from the waterless pit.^(L)
12 Return to your fortress,^(M) you prisoners of hope;
    even now I announce that I will restore twice^(N) as much to you.
