15 The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, will shield His people,
    and they will feast and trample the sling stones hurled uselessly by their enemies.
They will drink in and roar at the battle like men filled with wine;
    they will be full like a bowl collecting the blood of a sacrifice,
    drenched like the corners of the altar during a festival offering.
16 On that glorious day, the Eternal their God will save His people, for they are His flock;
    they will sparkle over His lands like jewels in a crown,
17 For goodness and beauty will abound!
    Grain will grow and nourish the young men;
Wine will flow and flourish the young women.

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.
