Zechariah 9:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ Judah, I will use you like a bow.
    Ephraim, I will use you like arrows.
Israel, I will use you like a sword
    to fight against the men of Greece.
¹⁴ The Lord will appear to them,
    and he will shoot his arrows like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
    and the army will rush forward like a desert dust storm.
¹⁵ The Lord All-Powerful will protect them.
    The soldiers will use rocks and slings to defeat the enemy.
They will spill the blood of their enemies.
    It will flow like wine.
    It will be like the blood that is thrown on the corners of the altar!
