10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the horses from Jerusalem.
    The bows used in war will be broken.
The king will talk to the nations about peace.
    His kingdom will go from sea to sea,
    and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

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.
