Zechariah 14:3-21
3Then the LordH3068 will goH3318 forthH3318 and 1fightH3898 against thoseH1992 nationsH1471, as 2whenH3117 He fightsH3898 on a dayH3117 of battleH7128. 4In that dayH3117 His feetH7272 will 3standH5975 on the MountH2022 of OlivesH2132, whichH834 is in frontH6440 of JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924; and the MountH2022 of OlivesH2132 will be 4splitH1234 in its middleH2677 from eastH4217 to westH3220 by a veryH3966 largeH1419 valleyH1516, so that halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 will moveH4185 toward the northH6828 and the other halfH2677 toward the southH5045. 5You will fleeH5127 by the valleyH1516 of My mountainsH2022, for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 will reachH5060 to AzelH682; yes, you will fleeH5127 justH3512 as you fledH5127 beforeH4480H6440 the 5earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 6Then the LordH3068, my GodH430, will comeH935, and allH3605 the holyH6918 onesH6918 with 7Him!
6In that dayH3117 there will be 8noH3808 lightH216; the 9luminariesH3368 will dwindleH7087. 7For it will be 10a uniqueH259 dayH3117 whichH1931 is 11knownH3045 to the LordH3068, neitherH3808 dayH3117 norH3808 nightH3915, but it will comeH1961 about that at 12eveningH6153 timeH6256 there will be lightH216.
8And in that dayH3117 13livingH2416 watersH4325 will flowH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, halfH2677 of them towardH413 the easternH6931 seaH3220 and the other halfH2677 towardH413 the westernH314 seaH3220; it will be in summerH7019 as well as in winterH2779.
9And the LordH3068 will be 14kingH4428 overH5921 allH3605 the earthH776; in that dayH3117 the LordH3068 will be the only 15oneH259, and His nameH8034 the only oneH259.
10AllH3605 the landH776 will be changedH5437 into a plainH6160 from 16GebaH1387 to 17RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389; but 18Jerusalem will 19riseH7213 and 20remainH3427 on its siteH8478 from 21Benjamin’sH1144 GateH8179 as farH5704 as the placeH4725 of the FirstH7223 GateH8179 to the 22CornerH6438 GateH8179, and from the 23TowerH4026 of HananelH2606 to the king’sH4428 wineH3342 pressesH3342. 1124People will liveH3427 in it, and there will 25noH3808 longerH5750 be a curseH2764, for JerusalemH3389 will 26dwellH3427 in securityH983.
12Now thisH2088 will be the plagueH4046 with whichH834 the LordH3068 will strikeH5062 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whoH834 have goneH6633 to warH6633 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389; their fleshH1320 will 27rotH4743 while they standH5975 on their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 will rotH4743 in their socketsH2356, and their tongueH3956 will rotH4743 in their mouthH6310. 13It will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117 that a greatH7227 panicH4103 from the LordH3068 will 28fallH1961 on them; and they will 29seizeH2388 oneH376 another’sH7453 handH3027, and the handH3027 of one will 30be liftedH5927 againstH5921 the handH3027 of anotherH7453. 1431JudahH3063 alsoH1571 will fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the 32wealthH2428 of allH3605 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471 will be gatheredH622, goldH2091 and silverH3701 and garmentsH899 in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. 15SoH3651 also like thisH2088 33plagueH4046 will be the plagueH4046 on the horseH5483, the muleH6505, the camelH1581, the donkeyH2543 and allH3605 the cattleH929 that will be in thoseH1992 campsH4264.
16Then it will comeH1961 about that anyH3605 who are leftH3498 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 that wentH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389 will 34goH5927 up from yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, and to celebrateH2287 the 35FeastH2282 of BoothsH5521. 17And it will be that whicheverH834 of the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 does not goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the 36KingH4428, the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, there will be 37noH3808 rainH1653 on them. 18IfH518 the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 does not goH5927 up or enterH935, then noH3808 rain will fall on them; it will be the 38plagueH4046 with whichH834 the LordH3068 smitesH5062 the nationsH1471 whoH834 do not goH5927 up to celebrateH2287 the FeastH2282 of BoothsH5521. 19ThisH2088 will be the 39punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the 40punishmentH2403 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 whoH834 do not goH5927 up to celebrateH2287 the FeastH2282 of BoothsH5521.
20In that dayH3117 there will be inscribed on the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, “41HOLYH6944 TO THE LORDH3068.” And the 42cookingH5518 potsH5518 in the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 will be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. 21EveryH3605 cookingH5518 potH5518 in JerusalemH3389 and in JudahH3063 will be 43holyH6944 to the LordH3068 of hostsH6635; and allH3605 who sacrificeH2076 will comeH935 and takeH3947 of them and boilH1310 in them. And there will noH3808 longerH5750 be a 4445CanaaniteH3669 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 in that dayH3117.
