14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (A)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (B)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (C)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [a]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will (D)save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For (E)they shall be like the [b]jewels of a crown,
(F)Lifted like a banner over His land—
17 For (G)how great is [c]its goodness
And how great its (H)beauty!
(I)Grain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.

14 Then Yahweh will appear over them,
    and his arrow will go forth like lightning;
and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,
    and he shall go out in the storm winds of the south.

    and they will devour and subdue the slingstones;[a]
they will drink, they will make noise[b] like wine,
    and they will be full like the sacrificial basin,[c]
    drenched like the corners of an altar.
16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day,
    as the flock of his people;
for they are like the stones of a diadem,
    glittering on his land.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
