Zechariah 9:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 The Lord of heaven’s armies will protect them.
They will destroy the enemy with slingshots.
They will drink and shout like drunk men.
They will be filled like a bowl
used for sprinkling blood at the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them
as if his people were sheep.
They will shine in his land
like jewels in a crown.
17 They will be so pretty and beautiful.
The young men will grow strong on the grain.
And the young women will grow strong on new wine.
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.
