(9)Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; cheer, daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your king will come to you; he is righteous and saved from distress. He, the king, is humble, and riding upon a donkey, on the foal of a female donkey. He will not ride on a horse in the usual manner of kings, but will arrive on a young donkey, just like the first redeemer, Moses our teacher, when he came to Egypt to redeem Israel. (10)I will eliminate battle chariots from Ephraim, and horses of war I will likewise cut off from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be eliminated; he, that king, will speak peace to the nations, and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. (11)You too, daughter of Zion, for the blood of your covenant, which began Israel’s relationship with God, I have released your prisoners from the pit in which there is no water. (12)Return to security, to the fortress where you will be protected and fortified, prisoners of hope, who have nothing left but hope; today too, I declare that I will return double the amount of good to you. I will send you a king of redemption who will give you tidings of double your previous good. (13)For I bend Judah for Me like a bow; I fully draw a bow of Ephraim, I will fill Israel with strength; I will rouse your children, Zion, against your children, Yavan, and will set you, Zion, like the sword of the valiant.
