Zechariah 9:11-13
The Message
11-13 “And you, because of my blood covenant with you,
I’ll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells.
Come home, hope-filled prisoners!
This very day I’m declaring a double bonus—
everything you lost returned twice-over!
Judah is now my weapon, the bow I’ll pull,
setting Ephraim as an arrow to the string.
I’ll wake up your sons, O Zion,
to counter your sons, O Greece.
From now on
people are my swords.”
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)
