Zechariah 12:2-7
2“BeholdH2009, I am going to makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a 1cupH5592 2that causes staggeringH7478 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 aroundH5439; and when the siegeH4692 is againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, it will alsoH1571 be againstH5921 3JudahH3063. 3It will comeH1961 aboutH1961 on that dayH3117 that I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a heavyH4614 4stoneH68 for allH3605 the peoplesH5971; allH3605 who liftH6006 it will 5injureH8295 themselves severelyH8295. And allH3605 the 6nationsH1471 of the earthH776 will be gatheredH622 againstH5921 it. 4On that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “I will strikeH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 with confusionH8541 and its riderH7392 with insanityH7697. But I will 7watchH6491H5869 overH5921 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, while I strikeH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 of the peoplesH5971 with blindnessH5788. 5Then the 8clansH505 of JudahH3063 will sayH559 in their heartsH3820, ‘The inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 are a 9strongH556 supportH556 for us through the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, their GodH430.’
6“On that dayH3117 I will makeH7760 the 10clansH505 of JudahH3063 like a 11firepotH784H3595 among pieces of woodH6086 and a flamingH784 torchH3940 among sheavesH5995, so they will consumeH398 on the rightH3225 and on the leftH8040 allH3605 the surroundingH5439 peoplesH5971, while 12the 13inhabitants of JerusalemH3389 againH5750 liveH3427 onH8478 their own sitesH8478 in JerusalemH3389. 7The LordH3068 also will 14saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, soH4616 thatH4616 the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of 15DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 will not be greaterH1431 thanH5921 JudahH3063.
