11
As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
12
Turn you to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double to you.
13
For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you as the sword of a mighty man.
14
Yahweh shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15
Yahweh of Hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
16
Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
17
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
