Zechariah 9:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Turn you to the [a]stronghold, ye [b]prisoners of hope: even today do I declare, that I will render the [c]double unto thee.
13 For Judah have I bent as a [d]bow for me: Ephraim’s hand have I filled, and I have raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and have made thee as a giant’s sword.
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall come forth with the whirlwinds of the South.
