15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them,
    and they will devour and subdue the slingstones;[a]
they will drink, they will make noise[b] like wine,
    and they will be full like the sacrificial basin,[c]
    drenched like the corners of an altar.
16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day,
    as the flock of his people;
for they are like the stones of a diadem,
    glittering on his land.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
