Zechariah 9:15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 The Lord All-Powerful will protect them.
The soldiers will use rocks and slings to defeat the enemy.
They will spill the blood of their enemies.
It will flow like wine.
It will be like the blood that is thrown on the corners of the altar!
16 At that time the Lord their God
will save his people
like a shepherd saves his sheep.
They will be very precious to him.
They will be like sparkling jewels in his land.
17 Everything will be good and beautiful!
There will be a wonderful crop,
but it will not be just the food and wine.
It will be all the young men and women!

Zechariah 9:15-17
New International Version
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(A) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(B)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(C)
they will be full like a bowl(D)
used for sprinkling[a] the corners(E) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(F)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(G)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
