Zechariah 9:13 in Context — Zechariah 9

11 Et pour toi, à cause de ton alliance scellée par le sang, Je retirerai tes captifs de la fosse où il n’y a pas d’eau.

12 Retournez à la forteresse, captifs pleins d’espérance! Aujourd’hui encore je le déclare, Je te rendrai le double.

13 Car je bande Juda comme un arc, Je m’arme d’Éphraïm comme d’un arc, Et je soulèverai tes enfants, ô Sion, Contre tes enfants, ô Javan! Je te rendrai pareille à l’épée d’un vaillant homme.

14 L’Éternel au-dessus d’eux apparaîtra, Et sa flèche partira comme l’éclair; Le Seigneur, l’Éternel, sonnera de la trompette, Il s’avancera dans l’ouragan du midi.

15 L’Éternel des armées les protégera; Ils dévoreront, ils vaincront les pierres de la fronde; Ils boiront, ils seront bruyants comme pris de vin; Ils seront pleins comme une coupe, Comme les coins de l’autel.
