The Lord Will Appear

14Then the Lord will appear over them;

his arrow will flash like lightning.

The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;

he will march in the storms of the south,

15and the Lord Almighty will shield them.

They will destroy

and overcome with slingstones.

They will drink and roar as with wine;

they will be full like a bowl

used for sprinkling^e the corners of the altar.

16The Lord their God will save them on that day

as the flock of his people.

They will sparkle in his land

like jewels in a crown.

17How attractive and beautiful they will be!

Grain will make the young men thrive,

and new wine the young women.
