15     The Lord of Hosts will protect them.
They will devour up
    and subdue them with stone slingers.
And they will drink and make noise as with wine;
    they will be filled with blood as a bowl,
    saturated like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will deliver them that day
    like the flock of His people.
For like jewels embedded in a crown,
    they will shine in His land.
17 For how great is His goodness, and how great His beauty!
    There will be grain for the young men
    and new wine to prosper the young women.

    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)

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