The Lord Promises To Rescue Captives

11 (A) When I made a sacred agreement
with you, my people,
    we sealed it with blood.[a]
Now some of you are captives
    in waterless pits,
but I will come to your rescue
12     and offer you hope.
Return to your fortress,
because today I will reward you
    with twice what you had.
13 I will use Judah as my bow
    and Israel[b] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
    and attack the Greeks.
