Zechariah 9:15

Zechariah 9:15

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 ^aHis arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go ^bwith whirlwinds from the south.

15 The Lord of hosts will ^adefend them;
They shall devour and subdue with slingstones.
They shall drink and roar as if with wine;
They shall be filled with blood like¹ basins,
Like the corners of the altar.

16 The Lord their God will ^asave them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For ^bthey shall be like the jewels of a crown,
^cLifted like a banner over His land—

17 For ^ahow great is its goodness
And how great its ^bbeauty!
^cGrain shall make the young men thrive,
And new wine the young women.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Zechariah 9:14

Zechariah 9:16 >>

Devour - Destroy their enemies. With sling - stones - As David did Goliath. Shall drink - In their festivals, when they offer sacrifices of thanksgiving for their victories. Make a noise - Shout with shouts of triumph, as men do whose hearts are glad with success, and cheared with wine. Shall fill - With the blood of the sacrifices they offer.
