Zechariah 9:11-17 - The Restoration Of God's People

¹¹ As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you,
I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
¹² Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
¹³ For I will bend Judah as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece;
And I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear over them,
And His arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And will march in the storm winds of the south.
¹⁵ The Lord of hosts will defend them.
And they will devour and trample on the sling stones;
And they will drink and be boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the corners of the altar.
¹⁶ And the Lord their God will save them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a crown,
Sparkling in His land.
¹⁷ For what comeliness and beauty will be theirs!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
