13 I will bend Judah as my bow
    and draw my bow with Ephraim as its arrow.
    I will stir up your people, Zion, against your people, Greece,
    and I will use you like a warrior’s sword.

14 Yahweh will appear over them,
    and his arrow will go out like lightning.
    Adonay Yahweh will blow the ram’s horn
    and will march in the storms from the south.
15 Yahweh Tsebaoth will defend them.
    They will destroy and trample the stones used in slings.
    They will drink and shout as if they were drunk.
    They will be filled like a sacrificial bowl
        used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.
