14 Then Yahweh will appear over them,
    and his arrow will go forth like lightning;
and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet,
    and he shall go out in the storm winds of the south.
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.
