15 The Lord of heavenly forces will protect them.
        They will devour and subdue like sling stones.[a]
        They will drink, mumbling like one having wine.
        They will be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will deliver them on that day as the flock of his people;
        they will be the jewels in a crown dotting his land.
17 What is his goodness,
        and what is his beauty?
Grain will make his young men flourish;
        so too wine his young women.
