11 As for you also, because of the ablood of your covenant,
I have set your bprisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the astronghold, O prisoners who have the bhope;
This very day I am declaring that I will return cdouble to you.
13 For I will abend Judah as My bow;
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will rouse up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O bGreece;
And I will make you like a cmighty man’s sword.
14 Then Yahweh will appear aover them,
And His barrow will go forth like lightning;
And Lord Yahweh will blow the ctrumpet
And will go in the dstorm winds of the south.
15 aYahweh of hosts will defend them.
And they will bconsume and trample on the cstones of a sling;
And they will drink and droar as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial bowl,
Drenched like the ecorners of the altar.
16 And Yahweh their God will asave them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a bcrown,
Sparkling in His land.
17 For what agoodness and bwhat beauty will be theirs!
Grain will make the choice men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
