Zechariah 9:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

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!
¹⁶ At that time the Lord their God
    will save his people
    like a shepherd saves his sheep.
They will be very precious to him.
    They will be like sparkling jewels in his land.
