Zechariah 14:9-19

9On that day the Lord will become King over the whole earth  — the Lord alone, and his name alone.

10All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be changed into a plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain on its site from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.

11People will live there, and never again will there be a curse of complete destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell in security.

12This will be the plague with which the Lord strikes all the people who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

13On that day a great panic from the Lord will be among them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will rise against the other.

14Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.

15The same plague as the previous one will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that are in those camps.

16Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of Armies, and to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

17Should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Armies, rain will not fall on them.

18And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the Lord inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.

19This will be the punishment of Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Shelters.
