*
The prophecy of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel .
Thus saith Jehovah ,
who stretched out the heavens ,
And laid the foundation of the earth ,
And formed the spirit of man within him :
*
Behold ,
I make Jerusalem a cup of giddiness to all the nations round about ,
And for Judah also shall it be In the siege against Jerusalem .
*
And in that day will I make Jerusalem A burdensome stone for all nations ;
All that lift it up shall tear themselves ,
And all the nations of the earth shall gather themselves together against it .
*
In that day ,
saith Jehovah ,
I will smite every horse with amazement ,
And his rider with madness ;
I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah ,
And every horse of the nations will I smite with blindness .
*
Then shall the leaders of Judah say in their heart , "
Strong are the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
Through Jehovah of hosts ,
their God ."
*
In that day will I make the leaders of Judah Like a fire
pan among wood ,
And like a torch of fire in a sheaf ,
And they shall devour ,
on the right hand and on the left ,
All the nations round about .
And Jerusalem shall again dwell in her own place at Jerusalem .
*
Jehovah will also save the tents of Judah first ,
That the glory of the house of David ,
And the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
May not magnify itself against Judah .
*
In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
And he that is feeble among them in that day shall be like David ,
And the house of David shall be as God ,
As the angel of Jehovah before them .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day That I will seek to destroy all the nations Which come against Jerusalem .
