Zechariah 9:13-15
English Standard Version
13 For (A)I have bent Judah as my bow;
I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, (B)O Greece,
and wield you like a warrior's sword.
The Lord Will Save His People
14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
and (C)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
(D)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
and will march forth in (E)the whirlwinds (F)of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts (G)will protect them,
and (H)they shall devour, (I)and tread down the sling stones,
and (J)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
and be full like a bowl,
drenched (K)like the corners of the altar.
Zechariah 9:13-15
New King James Version
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (A)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (B)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (C)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [a]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
