Zechariah 9:13

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.

KJV

Quoniam extendi mihi Judam quasi arcum : implevi Ephraim : et suscitabo filios tuos, Sion, super filios tuos, Græcia : et ponam te quasi gladium fortium.

Vulgate

διότι ἐνέτεινά σε, Ἰούδα, ἐμαυτῷ τόξον, ἔπλησα τὸν Ἐφράιμ, καὶ ἐξεγερῶ τὰ τέκνα σου, Σειών, ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα τῶν Ἑλλήνων, καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε ὡς ῥομφαίαν μαχητοῦ·

LXX

For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
