15 And the Lord Almighty will help his people.

They will throw great stones at their enemies.

When they go to war, they will shout loudly,

like men who have drunk too much wine.

They will be as full of joy as the priest's bowl is full of blood,

when he pours it on the altar.

16 On that day, the Lord will save them.

They are his people.

They will shine in his country

like beautiful stones that shine in a crown.

17 The people will be beautiful and good.

The young people will become strong

when they eat good bread.

The young women will become strong

when they drink new wine.

They will destroy
    and overcome with slingstones.(B)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(C)
    they will be full like a bowl(D)
    used for sprinkling[a] the corners(E) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(F)
    as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
    like jewels in a crown.(G)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
