Zechariah 9:13-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. because I have stretched out Judah for myself, like a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will raise up your sons, Zion, above your sons, Greece. And I will set you as the sword of the strength.

14. And the Lord God will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and he will go forth into the whirlwind of the South.

15. The Lord of hosts will protect them. And they will devour and subdue with the stones of the sling. And, when drinking, they will become inebriated, as if with wine, and they will be filled like bowls and like the horns of the altar.

16. And in that day, the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people. For holy stones will be lifted up over his land.

17. For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins?
