15 The Lord of hosts will protect them,
    and they will overcome
    as they trample underfoot the slingstones.
They will drink blood like wine,
    filled to the brim like a bowl,
    drenched like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord, their God, will save them on that day,
    for they are his flock, his own people.
Like the precious stones of a crown
    they will sparkle throughout his land.
17 What wealth and what beauty will be theirs,
    with grain to make the young men flourish
    and with new wine for the maidens!

    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.

    like jewels in a crown.(G)

    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
