12 Return to your stronghold, O (A)prisoners of hope;
    today I declare that (B)I will restore to you double.
13 For (C)I have bent Judah as my bow;
    I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, (D)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 (E)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
(F)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
    and will march forth in (G)the whirlwinds (H)of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts (I)will protect them,
    and (J)they shall devour, (K)and tread down the sling stones,
and (L)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
    and be full like a bowl,
    drenched (M)like the corners of the altar.

16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
    as (N)the flock of his people;
for (O)like the jewels of a crown
    they shall shine on his land.
