¹² Return to the fortress,
    you prisoners who have waited in hope.
This very day I promise
    that I will reward you twofold.
¹³ For I have strung Judah as my bow
    and made Ephraim its arrow.
I have roused your sons, O Zion,
    and have made you like a warrior’s sword
    against your sons, O Javan.
¹⁴ Then the Lord will appear over them,
    and his arrow will flash forth like lightning.
The Lord God will sound the trumpet
    and march forth in the stormwinds of the south.
