lesserot - Zechariah:12-14

lesserot@Zechariah:12:1 @ The prophecy of the word of the Lord concerning Israel, Saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:

lesserot@Zechariah:12:2 @ Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of confusion unto all the people round about; and also against Judah, who will have to be at the siege against Jerusalem.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:3 @ And it shall come to pass on that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the people; all that burden themselves with it shall be severely cut: yet then will be gathered together against it all the nations of the earth.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:4 @ On that day, saith the Lord, will I smite every horse with dizziness, and his rider with madness; but over the house of Judah will I open my eyes, while I will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:5 @ And the chiefs of Judah will say in their heart, A strong support for me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts their God.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:6 @ On that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a firehearth among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour on the right hand and on the left all the people round about; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:7 @ The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first: in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become boastful over Judah.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:8 @ On that day will the Lord be a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and the feeblest among them shall be on that day like David; and the house of David shall be like divine beings, like an angel of the Lord before them.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:9 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are come against Jerusalem.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:10 @ But I will pour out over the house of David, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they will look up toward me whom they have thrust through, and they will lament for him, as one lamenteth for an only son, and weep bitterly for him, as one weepeth bitterly for the firstborn.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:11 @ On that day will the lamentation be great in Jerusalem, like the lamentation at Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

lesserot@Zechariah:12:12 @ And the land will mourn, every family apart by itself: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

lesserot@Zechariah:12:13 @ The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimi apart, and their wives apart;

lesserot@Zechariah:12:14 @ All the families that remain, every family apart by itself, and their wives apart.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:1 @ On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:2 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:3 @ And it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:4 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:5 @ But he will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:6 @ And should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my friends.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:7 @ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble ones.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:8 @ And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.

lesserot@Zechariah:13:9 @ And I will bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:1 @ Behold, a day is coming unto the Lord, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:2 @ And I will assemble all the nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into exile, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:3 @ Then will the Lord go forth, and fight against these nations, as on the day when he fought on the day of battle.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:4 @ And his feet will stand on that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be split in twain in its middle eastward and westward, making a very great valley; and half of the mount shall remove northward, and half of it southward.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:5 @ And ye shall flee the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziyah the king of Judah: and then will come the Lord my God, and all the saints with thee.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:6 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall be no light, but fleeting light and thick darkness;

lesserot@Zechariah:14:7 @ But it shall be one particular day which shall indeed be known as the Lords, neither day nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at eveningtime there shall be light.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:8 @ And it shall happen on that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, the half of them toward the eastern sea, and the other half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be so.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:9 @ And the Lord will be king over all the earth: on that day shall the Lord be one, and his name be one.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:10 @ All the land shall be changed as it were into a plain from Geba to Rimmon to the south of Jerusalem; and she herself shall be elevated, and be inhabited on her former site, from the gate of Benjamin unto the place of the first gate, up to the corner gate, and from the tower of Chananel unto the kings winepresses.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:11 @ And men shall dwell in it, and no destruction shall any more take place; but Jerusalem shall be inhabited in safety.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:12 @ And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will afflict all the people that shall have come to battle against Jerusalem: The flesh of every one shall consume away while he standeth upon his feet, and his eyes shall consume away in their holes, and the tongue of every one shall consume away in his mouth.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:13 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great confusion from the Lord shall be among them: and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:14 @ And also Judah will have to fight against Jerusalem: and there shall be gathered together the wealth of all the nations round about, gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:15 @ And thus shall be the plague of the horses, of the mules, of the camels, and of the asses, and of all the beasts that will be in these camps, just like this plague.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:16 @ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left out of all the nations who will have come against Jerusalem, yea, these shall go up year by year to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:17 @ And it shall happen, that whoso will not come up out of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to bow down before the King, the Lord of hosts,even upon these there shall be no rain.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:18 @ And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, then shall not upon them also: this shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will afflict the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:19 @ This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that will not come up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:20 @ On that day shall, even to the bells of the horses, be holy unto the Lord; and the pots in the Lords house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

lesserot@Zechariah:14:21 @ And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto the Lord of hosts; and all those that sacrifice will come and take some of them, and seethe therein: and on that day there shall be no more any trader in the house of the Lord of host.
