Zechariah 9:12
Authorized (King James) Version
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope:
even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
Zechariah 9:12
New Living Translation
12 Come back to the place of safety,
all you prisoners who still have hope!
I promise this very day
that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.
Zechariah 9:12-13
The Message
11-13 “And you, because of my blood covenant with you,
I’ll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells.
Come home, hope-filled prisoners!
This very day I’m declaring a double bonus—
everything you lost returned twice-over!
Judah is now my weapon, the bow I’ll pull,
setting Ephraim as an arrow to the string.
I’ll wake up your sons, O Zion,
to counter your sons, O Greece.
From now on
people are my swords.”
