# they will devour them # they will devour them
"the people of Judah will devour their enemies" "the people of Judah will will completely defeat their enemies"
# will devour
To completely defeat enemies is spoken of as devouring them as a wild animal eats its prey. Alternate translation: "will completely defeat" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# defeat the stones of the slings # defeat the stones of the slings
Slings to throw stones were a common weapon in the days of Zechariah. Here the "stones of the slings" represent the soldiers who were using them to attack Israel. Alternate translation: "defeat the enemies who attack them with slings and stones" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]]) "defeat the enemies who attack them with slings and stones"
# Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine # Then they will drink and shout like men drunk on wine
The people of Judah will shout and celebrate their victory over their enemies as if they were noisy drunks. Alternate translation: "Then they will shout and celebrate their victory as loudly as if they were drunk" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]]) "Then they will shout and celebrate their victory as loudly as if they were drunk"
# they will be filled with wine like bowls # they will be filled with wine like bowls
This probably refers to the bowls that the priests used to carry animal's blood to the altar. Alternate translation: "they will be as full of wine as the basins with which priests carry blood to the altar" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]]) "they will be as full of wine as the basins with which priests carry blood to the altar"
# like the corners of the altar # like the corners of the altar
Altars had projecting corners that were drenched in animal blood. Alternate translation: "they will be drenched as the corners of the altar are covered in blood" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]]) "they will be drenched as the corners of the altar are covered in blood"
