14 Then the Lord will appear above them,
    and his arrows will shoot like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
    and he will march in the storms of the south.
15 The Lord All-Powerful will protect them;
    they will destroy the enemy with slingshots.
They will drink and shout like drunks.
    They will be filled like a bowl
    used for sprinkling blood at the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them
    as if his people were sheep.
They will shine in his land
    like jewels in a crown.
17 They will be so pretty and beautiful.
    The young men will grow strong on the grain
    and the young women on new wine.
