11 I will set your prisoners free
    from where their enemies are keeping them.
I will do it because of the blood
    that put into effect my covenant with you.
12 Return to your place of safety,
    you prisoners who still have hope.
Even now I announce that I will give you back
    much more than you had before.

    I will make Ephraim’s people my arrows.
Zion, I will stir up your sons.
    Greece, they will attack your sons.
    My people, I will use you as my sword.”
