Zechariah 12:2-9

2Behold, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cup of reeling unto all the peoplesH5971 roundH5439 about, and upon JudahH3063 alsoH1571 shall it beH1961 in the siegeH4692 against JerusalemH3389. 3And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensome stoneH68 for all the peoplesH5971; all that burden themselves with it shall beH1961 sore wounded; and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall beH1961 gatheredH622 together against it. 4In that dayH3117, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horseH5483 with terror, and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697; and I will openH6491 mine eyesH5869 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will smite every horseH5483 of the peoplesH5971 with blindnessH5788. 5And the chieftains of JudahH3063 shall sayH559 in their heartH3820, The inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 are my strength in Jehovah of hostsH6635 their GodH430. 6In that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 the chieftains of JudahH3063 like a pan of fireH784 among woodH6086, and like a flaming torchH3940 among sheaves; and they shall devourH398 all the peoplesH5971 roundH5439 about, on the rightH3225 handH3225 and on the left; and they of JerusalemH3389 shall yetH5750 againH5750 dwellH3427 in their own placeH8478, even in JerusalemH3389. 7Jehovah also shall saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 be not magnifiedH1431 above JudahH3063. 8In that dayH3117 shall Jehovah defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and he that is feeble among them at that dayH3117 shall beH1961 as DavidH1732; and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 shall beH1961 as GodH430, as the angelH4397 of Jehovah before them. 9And it shall comeH935 to pass in that dayH3117, that I will seekH1245 to destroyH8045 all the nationsH1471 that comeH935 against JerusalemH3389.
