12 Return to the [a](A)stronghold, you prisoners [b]who have the (B)hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore (C)double to you.
13 For I will (D)bend Judah [c]as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, (E)Greece;
And I will make you like a (F)warrior’s sword.
14 Then the Lord will appear (G)over them,
And His (H)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [d]God will blow the (I)trumpet,
And march in the (J)storm winds of the south.
