*
The burden of the word of LORD concerning Israel . [
Thus ]
says LORD ,
who stretches forth the heavens ,
and lays the foundation of the earth ,
and forms the spirit of man within him :
*
Behold ,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples round about ,
and upon Judah also it shall be in the siege against Jerusalem .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples .
All who burden themselves with it shall be severely wounded .
And all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together agai
*
In that day ,
says LORD ,
I will smite every horse with terror ,
and his rider with madness .
And I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah ,
and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness .
*
And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart ,
The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in LORD of hosts their God .
*
In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood ,

and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
the spirit of grace and of supplication .
And they shall look to me whom they have pierced .
And they shall mourn for him ,

a man ]
mourns for his only
*
In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem ,
as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon .
*
And the land shall mourn ,
every family apart ,
the family of the house of David apart ,
and their wives apart ,
the family of the house of Nathan apart ,
and their wives apart ,
*
the family of the house of Levi apart ,
and their wives apart ,
the family of the Shimeites apart ,
and their wives apart ,
*
all the families that remain ,
every family apart ,
and their wives apart .
