Zechariah 12:2-9

2“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a 1cup 2that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against 3Judah. 3It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy 4stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be 5severely 6injured. And all the 7nations of the earth will be gathered against it. 4In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will 8watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘9A strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts, their God.’

6“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a 10firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the 11inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem. 7The Lord also will 12save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of 13David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah. 8In that day the Lord will 14defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who 1516is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like 17God, like the 18angel of the Lord before them. 9And in that day I will 1920set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
