Zechariah 14:9-21
9And athe Lord will be king over all the earth. bOn that day the Lord will be cone and dhis name one.10 eThe whole land shall be turned into a plain from fGeba to gRimmon south of Jerusalem. But hJerusalem shall remain aloft ion its site from jthe Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to kthe Corner Gate, and from lthe Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11And it shall be inhabited, for mthere shall never again be a decree of utter destruction. ▼
▼The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction
oJerusalem shall dwell in security. 12And this shall be pthe plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13And qon that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that reach will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14Even sJudah will fight at Jerusalem. And tthe wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15And ua plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.
16Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem vshall go up year after year to worship wthe King, the Lord of hosts, and xto keep ythe Feast of Booths. 17And if zany of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship aathe King, the Lord of hosts, abthere will be no rain on them. 18And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; ▼
▼Hebrew lacks rain
there shall be adthe plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up aeto keep the Feast of Booths. 19This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up afto keep the Feast of Booths. 20And agon that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, ah“Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be aiholy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And ajthere shall no longer be aka trader ▼
▼Or Canaanite
in the house of the Lord of hosts amon that day.
