And they will (B)devour and trample on the (C)slingstones;
And they will drink and be (D)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the (E)corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will (F)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a (G)crown,
Sparkling on His land.
17 For how great will [a]their (H)loveliness and (I)beauty be!
Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the virgins.
