12
Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
13
I will bend Judah as I bend my bow
and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, O Greece,
and make you like a warrior’s sword.
14
The Lord Will Appear
Then the Lord will appear over them;
his arrow will flash like lightning.
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;
he will march in the storms of the south,
15
and the Lord Almighty will shield them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.
They will drink and roar as with wine;
they will be full like a bowl
used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.
16
The Lord their God will save them on that day
as the flock of his people.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
