11As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
