Zechariah 9:14-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
and his arrow go forth like lightning;
the Lord God will sound the trumpet
and march forth in the whirlwinds of the south.(A)
15 The Lord of hosts will protect them,
and they shall consume and conquer the slingers;[a]
they shall drink their blood[b] like wine
and be full like a bowl,
drenched like the corners of the altar.(B)
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
for they are the flock of his people,
for like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.(C)
17 For what goodness and beauty are his!
Grain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the young women.(D)
Zechariah 9:14-17
International Standard Version
Israel’s Lord Appears
14 The Lord will appear over them—
his arrow will shoot like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
and go out with the southern windstorm.
15 The Lord of the Heavenly Armies will defend them;
they will devour and conquer those who sling stones.
They will drink and be boisterous like those who are drunk.
They will be filled to the brim with blood,[a]
like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save them at that time[b]
as his very own flock of people,
because they are his crown jewels,
exalted throughout 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 virgins.
