Zechariah 9:12-14

Contemporary English Version

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^[a] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
    and attack the Greeks.

¹⁴ Like a cloud, the Lord God
    will appear over his people,
and his arrows will flash
    like lightning.
God will sound his trumpet
and attack in a whirlwind
    from the south.
