The Lord Will Save His People

Zechariah 9

14 Then the Lord will appear over them,
and o his arrow will go forth like lightning;
p the Lord God will sound the trumpet
and will march forth in q the whirlwinds r of the south.
 15 The Lord of hosts s will protect them,
and t they shall devour, u and tread down the sling stones,
and v they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine,
and be full like a bowl,
drenched w like the corners of the altar.

16 On that day the Lord their God will save them,
as x the flock of his people;
for y like the jewels of a crown
they shall shine on his land.
 17 z For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
a Grain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the young women.
