9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king is coming to you; he is righteous and bringing salvation, humble and riding upon a donkey, upon a colt, the foal of a donkey.10I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; the bow of battle will be cut off, and he will speak peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.11As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant I have sent forth your prisoners from the pit in which there is no water.12Return to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I am also declaring that I will restore double to you.13For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have filled Ephraim and have roused your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan, and I have made you like the sword of a mighty man.
