14 Then the Lord will appear (A)over them,
And His (B)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [a]God will blow the (C)trumpet,
And will march in the (D)storm winds of the south.
15 (E)The Lord of hosts will defend them.
And they will (F)devour and trample on the (G)sling stones;
And they will drink and be (H)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the (I)corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will (J)save them in that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are as the stones of a (K)crown,
[b]Sparkling in His land.
