Zechariah 9:14-10:1

English Standard Version

The Lord Will Save His People

¹⁴Then the Lord will appear over them,
    and ^(A)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
^(B)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
    and will march forth in ^(C)the whirlwinds ^(D)of the south.
¹⁵The Lord of hosts ^(E)will protect them,
    and ^(F)they shall devour, ^(G)and tread down the sling stones,
and ^(H)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
    and be full like a bowl,
    drenched ^(I)like the corners of the altar.

¹⁶On that day the Lord their God will save them,
    as ^(J)the flock of his people;
for ^(K)like the jewels of a crown
    they shall shine on his land.
¹⁷^(L)For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
    ^(M)Grain shall make the young men flourish,
    and new wine the young women.

The Restoration for Judah and Israel

10 Ask rain ^(N)from the Lord
    in the season of ^(O)the spring rain,
from the Lord ^(P)who makes the storm clouds,
    and ^(Q)he will give them showers of rain,
    to everyone the vegetation in the field.
