Zechariah 12:2-9
2“BeholdH2009, I am going to makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a 1cupH5592 2that causes reelingH7478 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 aroundH5439; and when the siegeH4692 is againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, it will alsoH1571 be againstH5921 3JudahH3063. 3It will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117 that I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a heavyH4614 4stoneH68 for allH3605 the peoplesH5971; allH3605 who liftH6006 it will be 5severelyH8295 6injuredH8295. And allH3605 the 7nationsH1471 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 8watchH6491H5869 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, ‘9A 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 10firepotH3595 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 11inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 againH5750 dwellH3427 on their own sitesH8478 in JerusalemH3389. 7The LordH3068 also will 12saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, soH4616 that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of 13DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 will not be magnifiedH1431 aboveH5921 JudahH3063. 8In that dayH3117 the LordH3068 will 14defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the one who 1516is feebleH3782 among them in that dayH3117 will be like DavidH1732, and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will be like 17GodH430, like the 18angelH4397 of the LordH3068 beforeH6440 them. 9And in that dayH3117 I will 1920setH1245 aboutH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the nationsH1471 that comeH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389.
