Zechariah 9:11-17 - The Restoration Of God's People
11 [As for] you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will release your prisoners from {the waterless pit}. 12 Return to [the] fortress, O prisoners of hope; today [I am] declaring [that] I will repay you double. 13 For I have bent Judah [as] my bow; I have set Ephraim [as an arrow]. I will set in motion your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan. I will wield you like the sword of a warrior. 14 Then Yahweh will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and he shall go out in the storm winds of [the] south. 15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour and subdue the slingstones; they will drink, they will make noise like wine, and they will be full like the sacrificial basin, [drenched] like the corners of an altar. 16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people; for [they are like] the stones of a diadem, glittering on his land. 17 For how [great is] his goodness, and how [great is] his beauty! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine [the] young women.
