14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the shofar and shall go forth as the whirlwinds of the south.

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

16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as a flock of his people, for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! The wheat shall make the young men cheerful, and the wine the maids.

The Lord Will Appear

14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(A)
    his arrow will flash like lightning.(B)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(C)
    he will march in the storms(D) of the south,
15     and the Lord Almighty will shield(E) them.
They will destroy
    and overcome with slingstones.(F)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(G)
    they will be full like a bowl(H)
    used for sprinkling[a] the corners(I) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(J)
    as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
    like jewels in a crown.(K)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
