On that day the (A)Lord of armies will become a beautiful (B)crown
And a glorious wreath to the remnant of His people;
A (C)spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A (D)strength to those who repel the [a]onslaught at the gate.
And these also (E)reel with wine and stagger from intoxicating drink:
(F)The priest and (G)the prophet reel with intoxicating drink,
They are confused by wine, they stagger from (H)intoxicating drink;
They reel while [b]having (I)visions,
They stagger when rendering a verdict.
