Zechariah 9:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ My people, I made an agreement with you
    and sealed it with the blood of sacrifices.
Because of this, I will set your prisoners free from captivity,
    which is like a dry pit.
¹² You prisoners who have hope,
    return to your place of safety.
Today I am telling you
    that I will give you back twice as much as before.
¹³ I will use Judah like a bow.
    And Ephraim will be like the arrows.
Jerusalem, I will use your men
    to fight the men of Greece.
    I will make you like the sword of a warrior.
