Zechariah 12:2-9

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

6“On that day I will make the 10clans of Judah like a 11firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while 12the 13inhabitants of Jerusalem again live on their own sites in Jerusalem. 7The Lord also will 14save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of 15David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be greater than Judah. 8On that day the Lord will 16protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who 1718is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like 19God, like the 20angel of the Lord before them. 9And on that day I will 21seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
