Zechariah 12

Jerusalem to Be Attacked

1The 1burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 concerningH5921 IsraelH3478.

Thus declaresH5002 the LordH3068 who 2stretchesH5186 out the heavensH8064, 3laysH3245 the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and 4formsH3335 the spiritH7307 of manH120 withinH7130 him, 2“BeholdH2009, I am going to makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a 5cupH5592 6that causes reelingH7478 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 aroundH5439; and when the siegeH4692 is againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, it will alsoH1571 be againstH5921 7JudahH3063. 3It will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117 that I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a heavyH4614 8stoneH68 for allH3605 the peoplesH5971; allH3605 who liftH6006 it will be 9severelyH8295 10injuredH8295. And allH3605 the 11nationsH1471 of the earthH776 will be gatheredH622 againstH5921 it. 4In that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “I will strikeH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 with bewildermentH8541 and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697. But I will 12watchH6491H5869 overH5921 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, while I strikeH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 of the peoplesH5971 with blindnessH5788. 5Then the clansH441 of JudahH3063 will sayH559 in their heartsH3820, ‘13A strongH556 supportH556 for us are the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 through the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430.’

6“In that dayH3117 I will makeH7760 the clansH441 of JudahH3063 like a 14firepotH3595 among pieces of woodH6086 and a flamingH784 torchH3940 among sheavesH5995, so they will consumeH398 on the rightH3225 handH3225 and on the leftH8040 allH3605 the surroundingH5439 peoplesH5971, while the 15inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 againH5750 dwellH3427 on their own sitesH8478 in JerusalemH3389. 7The LordH3068 also will 16saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, soH4616 that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of 17DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 will not be magnifiedH1431 aboveH5921 JudahH3063. 8In that dayH3117 the LordH3068 will 18defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the one who 1920is feebleH3782 among them in that dayH3117 will be like DavidH1732, and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will be like 21GodH430, like the 22angelH4397 of the LordH3068 beforeH6440 them. 9And in that dayH3117 I will 2324setH1245 aboutH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the nationsH1471 that comeH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389.

10“I will 25pourH8210 out on the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and on the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, 26the SpiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationH8469, so that they will lookH5027 on Me whomH834 they have 27piercedH1856; and they will mournH5594 for Him, as one 28mournsH5594 for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, and they will weepH4843 bitterlyH4843 overH5921 Him like the bitterH4843 weepingH4843 overH5921 a firstbornH1060. 11In that dayH3117 there will be greatH1431 29mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, like the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the 30plainH1237 of 31MegiddoH4023. 12The landH776 will mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 by itselfH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 by itselfH905 and their wivesH802 by themselvesH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 by itselfH905 and their wivesH802 by themselvesH905; 13the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 by itselfH905 and their wivesH802 by themselvesH905; the familyH4940 of the ShimeitesH8097 by itselfH905 and their wivesH802 by themselvesH905; 14allH3605 the familiesH4940 that remainH7604, everyH4940 familyH4940 by itselfH905 and their wivesH802 by themselvesH905.
