13. For I have bent Judah, My bow,Fitted the bow with Ephraim,And raised up your sons, O Zion,Against your sons, O Greece,And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14. Then the Lord will be seen over them,And His arrow will go forth like lightning.The Lord God will blow the trumpet,And go with whirlwinds from the south.
15. The Lord of hosts will 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 basins,Like the corners of the altar.
16. The Lord their God will save them in that day,As the flock of His people.For they shall be like the jewels of a crown,Lifted like a banner over His land—
17. For how great is its goodnessAnd how great its beauty!Grain shall make the young men thrive,And new wine the young women.
