Zechariah 12:5-9

5Then the clansH441 of JudahH3063 will sayH559 in their heartsH3820, ‘1A 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 2firepotH3595 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 3inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 againH5750 dwellH3427 on their own sitesH8478 in JerusalemH3389. 7The LordH3068 also will 4saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, soH4616 that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of 5DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 will not be magnifiedH1431 aboveH5921 JudahH3063. 8In that dayH3117 the LordH3068 will 6defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the one who 78is feebleH3782 among them in that dayH3117 will be like DavidH1732, and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will be like 9GodH430, like the 10angelH4397 of the LordH3068 beforeH6440 them. 9And in that dayH3117 I will 1112setH1245 aboutH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the nationsH1471 that comeH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389.
