14 Yahweh will be seen over them;
    and his arrow will flash like lightning;
    and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,
    and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 Yahweh of Armies will defend them;
    and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones;
    and they will drink, and roar as through wine;
    and they will be filled like bowls,
    like the corners of the altar.
16 Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;
    for they are like the jewels of a crown,
    lifted on high over his land.
17 For how great is his goodness,
    and how great is his beauty!
Grain will make the young men flourish,
    and new wine the virgins.
