Strong's King James
(5) "SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF TZIYON,
LOOK! YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU,
GENTLE AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY,
ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A PACK ANIMAL.
The F.O.G
[5] "Tell the people of Jerusalem, 'Look! Your King approaches! He comes to you in humility, riding on a donkey – yes, on a young donkey, born to carry burdens.'" The profound irony wasn't lost – the King of Glory choosing creation's humblest mount.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.’
Young's Literal Translation
