11 As for you,
because of the blood of your covenant,(A)
I will release your prisoners
from the waterless cistern.(B)
12 Return to a stronghold,
you prisoners who have hope;
today I declare that I will restore double to you.(C)
13 For I will bend Judah as My bow;
I will fill that bow with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece.[a](D)
I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
