Zacharias 9:15
The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine, and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns of the altar.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Dominus exercituum proteget eos : et devorabunt, et subjicient lapidibus fundæ : et bibentes inebriabuntur quasi a vino, et replebuntur ut phialæ, et quasi cornua altaris.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ ὑπερασπιεῖ αὐτούς· καὶ καταναλώσουσιν αὐτούς, καὶ καταχώσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν λίθοις σφενδόνης, καὶ ἐκπίονται αὐτοὺς ὡς οἶνον, καὶ πλήσουσιν τὰς φιάλας ὡς θυσιαστήριον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמוֹ יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיּ֖וֹת מִזְבֵּֽחַ
Haydock's commentary
Sling. At first the Machabees had no other weapon, 1 Machabees iv. 6. The sling was much used, Judges xx. 16.
Wine. They will shed blood of the enemy so abundantly, and be all besmeared with it. They would never drink it, like the pagans, Leviticus xvii. 10. (Calmet)
