Zechariah 9:11-13
Good News Translation
The Restoration of God's People
11 (A)The Lord says,
“Because of my covenant with you
that was sealed by the blood of sacrifices,
I will set your people free—
free from the waterless pit of exile.
12 Return, you exiles who now have hope;
return to your place of safety.
Now I tell you that I will repay you twice over
with blessing for all you have suffered.
13 I will use Judah like a soldier's bow
and Israel like the arrows.
I will use the men of Zion like a sword,
to fight the men of Greece.”
Zechariah 9:11-13
New International Version
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(A) with you,
I will free your prisoners(B) from the waterless pit.(C)
12 Return to your fortress,(D) you prisoners of hope;
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)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(H)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(I)
