¹² Return to the fortress,
    O prisoners of hope;
today I am declaring that I will repay you double.
¹³ For I have bent Judah as my bow;
    I have set Ephraim as an arrow.
I will set in motion your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, O Javan.^[a]
I will wield you like the sword of a warrior.
¹⁴ Then Yahweh will appear over them,
    and his arrow will go forth like lightning;
and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,
    and he shall go out in the storm winds of the south.
