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
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Lord Will Appear
14 The Lord will appear above them,
and his arrow will go out like lightning.
The Lord God will sound the ram’s horn,
and he will go forth in the windstorms from the south.
15 The Lord of Armies will defend them,
and they will eat.
They will overpower their enemies with sling stones.
Then they will drink,
and they will be boisterous as if drunk with wine.
They will be filled like a sprinkling bowl used at the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people.
For like the jewels of a crown they will shine on his land.
17 Yes, what goodness it will have! What beauty!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine will make the young women thrive.
