Zechariah 9:15-17
Lexham English Bible
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.

New International Version
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(A) them.
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)

and new wine the young women.
