Zechariah:12:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The oracle of the word of Yahweh ,
on Israel ,
Declareth Yahweh Stretching out the heavens ,
and founding the earth ,
and fashioning the spirit of man within him :
*
Lo !
I am making Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples ,
round about ,
Moreover also ,
on Judah ,
shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem ;
*
And it shall come to pass ,
in that day ,
that I will make Jerusalem a lifting-stone ,
to all the peoples ,
all who seek to lift her ,
shall ,
cut themselves in pieces ,
though all the nations of the earth ,
gather themselves together against her .
*
In that day ,
Declareth Yahweh ,
I will smite every horse with terror ,
and his rider with madness ,
and ,
over the house of Judah ,
will I keep opening mine eyes ,
and ,
every horse of the peoples ,
will I smite with blindness .
*
Then will the chiefs of Judah say in their hearts ,
A strength unto me ,
the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
in Yahweh of hosts ,
their God .
*
In that day ,
will I make the chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks ,
and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ,
so shall they devour ,
on the right hand and on the left ,
all the peoples round about ;
so shall Jerusalem yet ,
be inhabited ,
in her own place ,
as Jerusalem .
*
But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first ,
lest the honour of the house of David ,
and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem ,
should be magnified over Judah .
*
In that day ,
will Yahweh ,
throw a covering ,
around the inhabitant of Jerusalem ,
so shall the tottering among them ,
in that day ,
become like David ,
and the house of Davidlike God ,
like the messenger of Yahweh ,
before them .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
in that day ,
That I will seek to destroy all the nations ,
that come against Jerusalem .
