Zechariah 14
God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes
1Behold, a aday is coming for the Lord when bthe spoil taken from you will be divided among you. 2For I will cgather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the dhouses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3Then the Lord will go forth and efight against those nations, as ▼▼ Lit His day of fighting
when He fights on a day of battle. 4In that day His feet will gstand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be hsplit in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. 5You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the iearthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. jThen the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with ▼▼ So the versions; Heb You
Him! 6In that day there will be lno light; the ▼▼ Lit glorious ones will congeal
luminaries will dwindle. 7For it will be na unique day which is oknown to the Lord, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at pevening time there will be light. 8And in that day qliving waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. God Will Be King over All
9And the Lord will be rking over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only sone, and His name the only one. 10All the land will be changed into a plain from tGeba to uRimmon south of Jerusalem; but ▼▼ Lit it
Jerusalem will wrise and xremain on its site from yBenjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the zCorner Gate, and from the aaTower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 ▼▼ Lit They
People will live in it, and there will acno longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will addwell in security. 12Now this will be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will aerot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13It will come about in that day that a great panic from the Lord will ▼▼ Lit be among
fall on them; and they will agseize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will ▼▼ Lit rise up against
be lifted against the hand of another. 14 aiJudah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the ajwealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15So also like this akplague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps. 16Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will algo up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the amFeast of Booths. 17And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the anKing, the Lord of hosts, there will be aono rain on them. 18If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the applague with which the Lord smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19This will be the ▼▼ Lit sin
punishment of Egypt, and the ▼▼ Lit sin
punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 20In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, as“HOLY TO THE LORD.” And the atcooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. 21Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be auholy to the Lord of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a ▼▼ Or merchant
,
awCanaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
