Zechariah 9:14-17
English Standard Version
The Lord Will Save His People
14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
and (A)his arrow will go forth like lightning;
(B)the Lord God will sound the trumpet
and will march forth in (C)the whirlwinds (D)of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts (E)will protect them,
and (F)they shall devour, (G)and tread down the sling stones,
and (H)they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
and be full like a bowl,
drenched (I)like the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
as (J)the flock of his people;
for (K)like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.
17 (L)For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
(M)Grain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the young women.
Zechariah 9:14-17
New Living Translation
14 The Lord will appear above his people;
his arrows will fly like lightning!
The Sovereign Lord will sound the ram’s horn
and attack like a whirlwind from the southern desert.
15 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will protect his people,
and they will defeat their enemies by hurling great stones.
They will shout in battle as though drunk with wine.
They will be filled with blood like a bowl,
drenched with blood like the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will rescue his people,
just as a shepherd rescues his sheep.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
17 How wonderful and beautiful they will be!
The young men will thrive on abundant grain,
and the young women will flourish on new wine.
