Zechariah 9:14-17

14 Then the Lord will appear above his people.

He will shoot his arrows like lightning in the sky.

The Almighty Lord will make a loud noise with his trumpet.

He will march into battle like a storm from the south.

15 The Lord Almighty will protect his people.

They will attack their enemies with stones from their slings

and they will win the battle.

They will drink and they will shout loudly,

like men who are drunk.

The blood of their enemies will make them full,

as a priest's bowl is full of blood

when he pours it on the corners of the altar.

16 On that day, the Lord their God will rescue his people,

as a shepherd rescues his sheep.

They will live in his land,

like bright jewels that shine in a crown.

17 It will all be very good and beautiful!

Grain from the land will make the young men strong.

The young women will become strong

as they drink new wine.
