*
The burden of the word of the LORD against Israel .
Thus says the LORD ,
who stretches out the heavens ,
lays the foundation of the earth ,
and forms the spirit of man within him :
* "
Behold ,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples ,
when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem .
*
And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples ;
all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces ,
though all nations of the earth are gathered against it .
*
In that day ,"
says the LORD , "
I will strike every horse with confusion ,
and its rider with madness ;
I will open My eyes on the house of Judah ,
and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness .
*
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart , "
The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts ,
their God .'
*
In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile ,
and like a fiery torch in the sheaves ;
they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left ,
but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place--Jerusalem .
* "
The LORD will save the tents of Judah first ,
so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah .
*
In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David ,
and the house of David shall be like God ,
like the Angel of the LORD before them .
*
It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem .
