11. Moreover, by the blood of your covenant,I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12. Return to the stronghold, prisoners of hope.Moreover, declare today that I will return double to you.
13. Indeed, I myself will bend Judah as a bow;I will fill it with Ephraim.Zion, I will rouse your sons against your sons. Greece, I will make youlike a warrior’s sword.
14. The Lord will appear above them;his arrow will go forth like lightning.The Lord God will blow the horn;he will march forth on the stormy winds of the south.
15. The Lord of heavenly forces will protect them.They will devour and subdue like sling stones.They will drink, mumbling like one having wine.They will be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
16. The Lord their God will deliver them on that day as the flock of his people;they will be the jewels in a crown dotting his land.
17. What is his goodness,and what is his beauty?Grain will make his young men flourish;so too wine his young women.
