9 “Rejoice ^agreatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, ^byour King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey. ‡

10 I ^awill cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The ^bbattle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be ^c‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’ ‡

12 Return to the stronghold,
^aYou prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore ^bdouble to you. ‡

13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
