Zechariah 9:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them, and they shall devour them, [a]and subdue them with sling stones, and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine, and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the horns of the Altar.
16 And the Lord their God shall deliver them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the [b]stones of the crown lifted up upon his land.
17 For how great is his goodness! and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

- Zechariah 9:15 He promiseth that the Jews shall destroy their enemies, and have abundance and excess of all things, as there is abundance on the altar when the sacrifice is offered: Which things are not to move them to intemperancy, but to sobriety, and a thankful remembrance of God’s great liberality.
- Zechariah 9:16 The faithful shall be preserved, and reverenced of all, that the very enemies shall be compelled to esteem them: for God’s glory shall shine in them, as Josephus declareth of Alexander the great when he met Jadi the high Priest.
