Zechariah:12:1-9

*
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel ,
saith the LORD ,
which stretcheth forth the heavens ,
and layeth the foundation of the earth ,
and formeth the spirit of man within him .
*
Behold ,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about ,
when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem .
*
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people :
all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces ,
though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it .
*
In that day ,
saith the LORD ,
I will smite every horse with astonishment ,
and his rider with madness :
and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah ,
and will smite every horse of the people with blindness .
*
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart ,
The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God .
*
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood ,
and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ;
and they shall devour all the people round about ,
on the right hand and on the left :
and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place ,
even in Jerusalem .
*
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first ,
that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah .
*
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David ;
and the house of David shall be as God ,
as the angel of the LORD before them .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem .
