Zechariah 9:11-13
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Promises To Rescue Captives
11 (A) When I made a sacred agreement
with you, my people,
we sealed it with blood.[a]
Now some of you are captives
in waterless pits,
but I will come to your rescue
12 and offer you hope.
Return to your fortress,
because today I will reward you
with twice what you had.
13 I will use Judah as my bow
and Israel[b] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
and attack the Greeks.

even now I announce that I will restore twice(E) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(F)
and fill it with Ephraim.(G)

against your sons, Greece,(H)
