Zechariah 9:13-15

King James Version

¹³When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

¹⁴And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

English Standard Version

¹³For ^(A)I have bent Judah as my bow;
    I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, ^(B)O Greece,
    and wield you like a warrior's sword.

The Lord Will Save His People

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