Zechariah 14:8-21

8And in that day 1living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

9And the Lord will be 2king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only 3one, and His name the only one.

10All the land will be changed into a plain from 4Geba to 5Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but 6Jerusalem will 7rise and 8remain on its site from 9Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the 10Corner Gate, and from the 11Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 1112People will live in it, and there will 13no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will 14dwell in security.

12Now this will be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will 15rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13It will come about in that day that a great panic from the Lord will 16fall on them; and they will 17seize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will 18be lifted against the hand of another. 1419Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the 20wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15So also like this 21plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.

16Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will 22go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the 23Feast of Booths. 17And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the 24King, the Lord of hosts, there will be 25no rain on them. 18If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the 26plague with which the Lord smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19This will be the 27punishment of Egypt, and the 28punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

20In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “29HOLY TO THE LORD.” And the 30cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. 21Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be 31holy to the Lord of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a 3233Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
