15 Adonai-Tzva’ot will defend them.
    They will consume and conquer with sling stones.
    They will drink and roar as with wine
        and be filled like a bowl,
        like the corners of the altar.
16 Adonai their God will save them on that day
        as the flock of His people.
    They will be like gems of a crown
        sparkling over His land.
17 How good and beautiful it will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive
        and new wine the virgin women.”
