15 The Lord of Armies will defend them,
    and they will eat.
    They will overpower their enemies with sling stones.
    Then they will drink,
    and they will be boisterous as if drunk with wine.
    They will be filled like a sprinkling bowl used at the corners of the altar.
16 On that day the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people.
    For like the jewels of a crown they will shine on his land.
17 Yes, what goodness it will have! What beauty!
    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine will make the young women thrive.

    Grain will make the young men thrive,
    and new wine the young women.
