14 The Lord will appear over them,
    God’s arrow will shoot forth as lightning;
The Lord God will sound the ram’s horn,
    and come in a storm from the south.(A)
15 The Lord of hosts will protect them;
    they will devour and conquer with sling stones,
    they will drink and become heated as with wine;
    they will be full like bowls—like the corners of the altar.(B)
16 And the Lord their God will save them:
    the people, like a flock on that day;(C)
For like gemstones of a crown[a]
    they will shine on the land.
