13 I will use Judah like a soldier's bowand Israel like the arrows.I will use the men of Zion like a sword,to fight the men of Greece.”
14 The Lord will appear above his people;he will shoot his arrows like lightning.The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;he will march in the storms from the south.
15 The Lord Almighty will protect his people,and they will destroy their enemies.They will shout in battle like drunken menand will shed the blood of their enemies;it will flow like the blood of a sacrificepoured on the altar from a bowl.
16 When that day comes, the Lord will save his people,as a shepherd saves his flock from danger.They will shine in his landlike the jewels of a crown.
17 How good and beautiful the land will be!The young people will grow strong on its corn and wine.
