Zechariah 9:11-13
New English Translation
11 Moreover, as for you, because of our covenant relationship secured with blood, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit. 12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners, with hope; today I declare that I will return double what was taken from you. 13 I will bend Judah as my bow; I will load the bow with Ephraim, my arrow.[a] I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and I will make you, Zion,[b] like a warrior’s sword.
