Zechariah 9:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 I will use Judah like a bow.
And Ephraim will be like the arrows.
Jerusalem, I will use your men
to fight the men of Greece.
I will make you like the sword of a warrior.
14 Then the Lord will appear to them.
He will shoot his arrows like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet.
And he will march in the storms of the south.
15 The Lord of heaven’s armies will protect them.
They will destroy the enemy with slingshots.
They will drink and shout like drunk men.
They will be filled like a bowl
used for sprinkling blood at the corners of the altar.
Zechariah 9:13-15
King James Version
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

Zacharie 9:13-15
Segond 21
13 En effet, je bande Juda comme un arc,
je m'arme d'Ephraïm comme d'une flèche,
et je soulèverai tes fils, Sion,
contre tes fils, Grèce.
Je te rendrai pareille à l'épée d'un héros.
14 L'Eternel apparaîtra au-dessus d'eux
et sa flèche partira comme l'éclair.
Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, sonnera de la trompette,
il s'avancera dans l'ouragan du sud.
15 L'Eternel, le maître de l’univers, les protégera,
ils dévoreront, ils écraseront les pierres de la fronde;
ils boiront, ils seront bruyants comme s’ils étaient ivres,
ils seront pleins comme une coupe,
comme les angles de l'autel[a].
