Lowly, and riding upon an ass,

And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim,

And the horse from Jerusalem,

And the battle bow shall be cut off:

And he shall speak peace unto the heathen:

And his dominion shall be from sea even to sea,

And from the river even to the ends of the earth.

I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

and the warhorses from Jerusalem.

I will destroy all the weapons used in battle,

and your king will bring peace to the nations.

sealed with blood,

I will free your prisoners

from death in a waterless dungeon.
