15 The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] will protect them;
    they will ·destroy [L eat and subdue] the enemy with slingshots.
They will drink and shout like drunks.
    They will be filled like a bowl
    used for sprinkling blood ·at [or and drenched with blood like] the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them
    as ·if his people were sheep [L the flock of his people].
They will shine in his land
    like jewels in a crown.
17 They will be so ·pretty [fine; good] and beautiful.
    The young men will grow strong on the grain
    and the young women on new wine.
