Zechariah 9:13 in Context — Zechariah 9

11 Y tú también por la sangre de tu pacto serás salva; yo he sacado tus presos del aljibe en que no hay agua.

12 Tornaos á la fortaleza, oh presos de esperanza: hoy también os anuncio que os daré doblado.

13 Porque entesado he para mí á Judá [como] arco, henchí á Ephraim; y despertaré tus hijos, oh Sión, contra tus hijos, oh Grecia, y te pondré como espada de valiente.

14 Y Jehová será visto sobre ellos, y su dardo saldrá como relámpago: y el Señor Jehová tocará trompeta, é irá como torbellinos del austro.

15 Jehová de los ejércitos los amparará, y ellos devorarán, y sujetarán á las piedras de la honda, y beberán, y harán estrépito como [tomados] del vino; y se llenarán como cuenco, ó como los lados del altar.
