Zechariah 9:11-17

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ As for you also, because of the ^(A)blood of My covenant with you,
I have set your ^(B)prisoners free from the ^[a]waterless pit.
¹² Return to the ^[b](C)stronghold, you prisoners ^[c]who have the ^(D)hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore ^(E)double to you.
¹³ For I will ^(F)bend Judah ^[d]as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, ^(G)Greece;
And I will make you like a ^(H)warrior’s sword.
¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear ^(I)over them,
And His ^(J)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord ^[e]God will blow the ^(K)trumpet,
And march in the ^(L)storm winds of the south.
^15 (M)The Lord of armies will protect them.
And they will ^(N)devour and trample on the ^(O)slingstones;
And they will drink and be ^(P)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the ^(Q)corners of the altar.
¹⁶ And the Lord their God will ^(R)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a ^(S)crown,
Sparkling on His land.
¹⁷ For how great will ^[f]their ^(T)loveliness and ^(U)beauty be!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the virgins.
