< previous ZECHARIAH - CHAPTER FOURTEEN next >
1 Behold, a day of Jehovah comes, when your
plunder will be divided within you. 2 For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and
the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest
of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3 Then Jehovah will go
out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 His
feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem
on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west,
making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north,
and half of it toward the south. 5 You shall flee by the valley of my
mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall
flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king
of Judah. Jehovah my God will come, and all the holy ones with you. 6 It
will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost. 7 It
will be a unique day which is known to Jehovah; not day, and not night; but it
will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.
8 It will happen in that day, that living waters
will go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of
them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.
9 Jehovah will be King over all the earth. In
that day Jehovah will be one, and his name one. 10 All the land will be
made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be
lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of
the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s
wine presses. 11 Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse;
but Jerusalem will dwell safely. 12 This will be the plague with which Jehovah
will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will
consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away
in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth. 13 It
will happen in that day, that a great panic from Jehovah will be among them; and
they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise
up against the hand of his neighbor. 14 Judah also will fight at
Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered
together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
15 So will be the plague of the horse, of the
mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the animals that will be in
those camps, as that plague. 16 It will happen that everyone who is left
of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to
worship the King, Jehovah of Armies, and to keep the feast of tents. 17 It
will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of Armies, on them there will be no
rain. 18 If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up, and doesn’t come, neither
will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Jehovah will strike
the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of tents. 19 This will be
the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up
to keep the feast of tents. 20 In that day there will be on the bells of
the horses, “HOLY TO JEHOVAH;” and the pots in Jehovah’s house will be like the
bowls before the altar. 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will
be holy to Jehovah of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of
them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the
house of Jehovah of Armies.
