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.
14. The Lord will be seen over them;and his arrow will go flash like lightning;and the Lord GOD will blow the shofar,and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15. The Lord of Hosts will defend them;and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones;and they will drink, and roar as through wine;and they will be filled like bowls,like the corners of the altar.
16. The Lord their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;for they are like the jewels of a crown,lifted on high over his land.
