Zechariah 9:11

Deliverance of Judah and Ephraim

11 As for you also, because of the 1blood of My covenant with you, I have set your 2prisoners free from the waterless * pit.

Zechariah 9:11 In-Context

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem; And the bow of war will be cut off. And He will speak peace to the nations; And His dominion will be from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
13 For I will bend Judah as My bow, I will fill the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece; And I will make you like a warrior's sword.
