[1] A revelation of Yahweh’s word concerning Israel: Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says: [2] “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem. [3] It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it. [4] In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. [5] The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’ [6] In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. [7] Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah. [8] In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them. [9] It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. [10] I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me§ whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn. [11] In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo. [12] The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; [13] the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart; [14] all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

A Trembling City

[1] The burden H4853 of the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 for Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 which stretcheth H5186 forth the heavens, H8064 and layeth the foundation H3245 of the earth, H776 and formeth H3335 the spirit H7307 of man H120 within H7130 him. [2] Behold, I will make H7760 Jerusalem H3389 a cup H5592 of trembling H7478§ unto all the people H5971 round about, H5439 when they shall be in the siege H4692 both against Judah H3063 and against Jerusalem. H3389 [3] And in that day H3117 will I make H7760 H853 Jerusalem H3389 a burdensome H4614 stone H68 for all people: H5971 all H3605 that burden H6006 themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, H8295 H8295 though all the people H1471 of the earth H776 be gathered together H622 against it. [4] In that day, H3117 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 I will smite H5221 every H3605 horse H5483 with astonishment, H8541 and his rider H7392 with madness: H7697 and I will open H6491 H853 mine eyes H5869 upon H5921 the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 and will smite H5221 every H3605 horse H5483 of the people H5971 with blindness. H5788 [5] And the governors H441 of Judah H3063 shall say H559 in their heart, H3820 The inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 shall be my strength H556 in the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 their God. H430 [6] In that day H3117 will I make H7760 H853 the governors H441 of Judah H3063 like an hearth H3595 of fire H784 among the wood, H6086 and like a torch H3940 of fire H784 in a sheaf; H5995 and they shall devour H398 all H3605 the people H5971 round about, H5439 on H5921 the right hand H3225 and on the left: H8040 and Jerusalem H3389 shall be inhabited H3427 again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. H3389 [7] The Lord H3068 also shall save H3467 H853 the tents H168 of Judah H3063 first, H7223 that the glory H8597 of the house H1004 of David H1732 and the glory H8597 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 do not H3808 magnify H1431 themselves against Judah. H3063 [8] In that day H3117 shall the Lord H3068 defend H1598 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem; H3389 and he that is feeble H3782§ among them at that day H3117 shall be as David; H1732 and the house H1004 of David H1732 shall be as God, H430 as the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 before H6440 them. [9] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that I will seek H1245 to destroy H8045 all H3605 the nations H1471 that come H935 against H5921 Jerusalem. H3389

A Day of Mourning

[10] And I will pour H8210 upon H5921 the house H1004 of David, H1732 and upon the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 the spirit H7307 of grace H2580 and of supplications: H8469 and they shall look H5027 upon H5921 me whom they have pierced, H1856 and they shall mourn H4553 for him, as one mourneth H5594 for his only H3173 son, and shall be in bitterness H4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness H4843 for his firstborn. H1060 [11] In that day H3117 shall there be a great H1431 mourning H4553 in Jerusalem, H3389 as the mourning H4553 of Hadadrimmon H1910 in the valley H1237 of Megiddon. H4023 [12] And the land H776 shall mourn, H5594 every H4940 family H4940§ apart; H905 the family H4940 of the house H1004 of David H1732 apart, and their wives H802 apart; the family H4940 of the house H1004 of Nathan H5416 apart, and their wives H802 apart; [13] the family H4940 of the house H1004 of Levi H3878 apart, and their wives H802 apart; the family H4940 of Shimei H8097 apart, and their wives H802 apart; [14] all the families H4940 that remain, H7604 every family H4940 apart, and their wives H802 apart.
