Zechariah 9:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ I will use Judah as my bow
    and Israel^[a] as my arrow.
I will take the people of Zion
as my sword
    and attack the Greeks.

¹⁴ Like a cloud, the Lord God
    will appear over his people,
and his arrows will flash
    like lightning.
God will sound his trumpet
and attack in a whirlwind
    from the south.
¹⁵ The Lord All-Powerful
    will protect his people,
and they will trample down
the sharpshooters
    and their slingshots.
They will drink and get rowdy;
they will be as full as a bowl
    at the time of sacrifice.
