13I will bend Judah as my bow
and draw my bow with Ephraim ⸤as its arrow⸥.
I will stir up your people, Zion, against your people, Greece,
and I will use you like a warrior’s sword.
14The Lord will appear over them,
and his arrow will go out like lightning.
The Almighty Lord will blow the ram’s horn
and will march in the storms from the south.
