Zechariah 9:13-16
New International Version
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(A)
and fill it with Ephraim.(B)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(C)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(D)
The Lord Will Appear
14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(E)
his arrow will flash like lightning.(F)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(G)
he will march in the storms(H) of the south,
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(I) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(J)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(K)
they will be full like a bowl(L)
used for sprinkling[a] the corners(M) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(N)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(O)

New King James Version
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow,
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
And raised up your sons, O Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece,
And made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
14 Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And (A)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go (B)with whirlwinds from the south.
15 The Lord of hosts will (C)defend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like [a]basins,
Like the corners of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will (D)save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For (E)they shall be like the [b]jewels of a crown,
(F)Lifted like a banner over His land—
