Revised Version 1895

1The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 concerning IsraelH3478. Thus saith the LORDH3068, whichH7307 stretcheth forth the heavensH8064, and layeth the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and formeth the spiritH7307 of manH120 withinH7130 him: 2beholdH2009, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cup of reelingH7478 unto allH3605 the peoplesH5971 roundH5439 aboutH1961, and uponH5921 JudahH3063 also shall it be in the siegeH4692 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389. 3And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH6006 stoneH68 for allH3605 the peoplesH5971; allH3605 that burdenH6006 themselvesH622 with it shall be sore wounded; and allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be gatheredH622 togetherH622 againstH5921 it. 4In that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068, I will smiteH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 with astonishment, and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697: and I will openH6491 mine eyesH5869 uponH5921 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will smiteH5221 everyH3605 horseH5483 of the peoplesH5971 with blindnessH5788. 5And the chieftains of JudahH3063 shall sayH559 in their heartH3820, The inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 are my strength in the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 their GodH430. 6In that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 the chieftains of JudahH3063 like a panH3595 of fireH784 among woodH6086, and like a torchH3940 of fireH784 among sheavesH5995; and they shall devourH398 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 roundH5439 aboutH5439, on the rightH3225 handH3225 and on the leftH8040: and JerusalemH3389 shall yet againH5750 dwellH3427 in herH3605 own placeH8478, evenH5750 in JerusalemH3389. 7The LORDH3068 also shall saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 be notH3808 magnifiedH1431 aboveH5921 JudahH3063. 8In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and he that is feebleH3782 among them at that dayH3117 shall be as DavidH1732; and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 shall be as GodH430, as the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 them. 9And it shall comeH935 to passH935 in that dayH3117, that I will seekH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the nationsH1471 that comeH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389. 10And I will pourH8210 uponH5921 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and uponH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationH8469; and they shall lookH5027 unto meH413 whomH834 they have piercedH1856: and they shall mournH5594 for him, as one mourneth for his onlyH3173 sonH3173, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstbornH1060. 11In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of Megiddon. 12And the landH776 shall mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 apartH905, and their wivesH802 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 apartH905, and their wivesH802 apartH905; 13the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 apartH905, and their wivesH802 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the ShimeitesH8097 apartH905, and their wivesH802 apartH905; 14allH3605 the familiesH4940 that remainH7604, everyH3605 familyH4940 apartH905, and their wivesH802 apartH905.
