15 The Lord of hosts will protect them,
    and they shall devour and tread down the slingers;[a]
they shall drink their blood[b] like wine,
    and be full like a bowl,
    drenched like the corners of the altar.

    for they are the flock of his people;

    they shall shine on his land.
17 For what goodness and beauty are his!
    Grain shall make the young men flourish,
    and new wine the young women.
