Zechariah 14:1-15
1Behold, the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee. 2For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7693H7901; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892. 3And, behold, YhwhH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
4And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045. 5And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: And YhwhH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee.12 6And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the lightH216 shall not be clearH3368, nor darkH7087:345 7But it shall be oneH259 dayH3117 which shall be knownH3045 to YhwhH3068, not dayH3117, nor nightH3915: but it shall come to pass, that at eveningH6153 timeH6256 it shall be lightH216.6 8And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be.7 9And YhwhH3068 shall be kingH4428 over all the earthH776: in that dayH3117 shall there be oneH259 YhwhH3068, and his nameH8034 oneH259. 10All the landH776 shall be turnedH5437 as a plainH6160 from GebaH1387 to RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389: and it shall be lifted upH7213, and inhabitedH3427 in her place, from Benjamin’sH1144 gateH8179 unto the placeH4725 of the firstH7223 gateH8179, unto the cornerH6434 gateH8179, and from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the king’sH4428 winepressesH3342.89 11And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427.10
12And this shall be the plagueH4046 wherewith YhwhH3068 will smiteH5062 all the peopleH5971 that have foughtH6633 against JerusalemH3389; Their fleshH1320 shall consume awayH4743 while they standH5975 upon their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 shall consume awayH4743 in their holesH2356, and their tongueH3956 shall consume awayH4743 in their mouthH6310. 13And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from YhwhH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453. 14And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230.1112 15And so shall be the plagueH4046 of the horseH5483, of the muleH6505, of the camelH1581, and of the donkeyH2543, and of all the beastsH929 that shall be in theseH1992 tentsH4264, as this plagueH4046.
