Zacarías 9

Poiché io piego Giuda come un arco, armo l’arco con Efraim, e solleverò i tuoi figliuoli, o Sion, contro i tuoi figliuoli, o Javan, e ti renderò simile alla spada di un prode.

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.

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have loaded the bow with Ephraim. I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
