“Rejoice (B)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, (C)your King is coming to you;

Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.

And the horse from Jerusalem;
The (E)battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be (F)‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’

But you shall be ashamed;
14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And (A)wail for [a]grief of spirit.
