Zechariah 14 (WEBP)
[1] Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your plunder will be divided within you.
[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
[3] Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
[4] His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
[5] You shall flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel. Yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.°
[6] It will happen in that day that there will not be light, cold, or frost.
[7] It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh—not day, and not night; but it will come to pass that at evening time there will be light.
[8] It will happen in that day that living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be so in summer and in winter.
[9] Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.
[10] All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.
[11] Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.
[12] This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.
[13] It will happen in that day that a great panic from Yahweh will be among them; and they will each seize the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
[14] Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
[15] A plague like this will fall on the horse, on the mule, on the camel, on the donkey, and on all the animals that will be in those camps.
[16] It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of booths.
[17] It will be that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain.
[18] If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
[19] This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of booths.
[20] In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO YAHWEH”; and the pots in Yahweh’s house will be like the bowls before the altar.
[21] Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite§ in the house of Yahweh of Armies.

Zechariah 14 (KJVS)
[1] Behold, the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 cometh H935 (8804), and thy spoil H7998 shall be divided H2505 (8795) in the midst H7130 of thee.
[2] For I will gather H622 (8804) all nations H1471 against Jerusalem H3389 to battle H4421; and the city H5892 shall be taken H3920 (8738), and the houses H1004 rifled H8155 (8738), and the women H802 ravished H7901 (8735) (8675) H7693 (8735); and half H2677 of the city H5892 shall go forth H3318 (8804) into captivity H1473, and the residue H3499 of the people H5971 shall not be cut off H3772 (8735) from the city H5892.
[3] Then shall the LORD H3068 go forth H3318 (8804), and fight H3898 (8738) against those nations H1471, as when H3117 he fought H3898 (8736) in the day H3117 of battle H7128.
[4] And his feet H7272 shall stand H5975 (8804) in that day H3117 upon the mount H2022 of Olives H2132, which [is] before H6440 Jerusalem H3389 on the east H6924, and the mount H2022 of Olives H2132 shall cleave H1234 (8738) in the midst H2677 thereof toward the east H4217 and toward the west H3220, [and there shall be] a very H3966 great H1419 valley H1516; and half H2677 of the mountain H2022 shall remove H4185 (8804) toward the north H6828, and half H2677 of it toward the south H5045.
[5] And ye shall flee H5127 (8804) [to] the valley H1516 of the mountains H2022; for the valley H1516 of the mountains H2022 shall reach H5060 (8686) unto Azal H682: yea, ye shall flee H5127 (8804), like as ye fled H5127 (8804) from before H6440 the earthquake H7494 in the days H3117 of Uzziah H5818 king H4428 of Judah H3063: and the LORD H3068 my God H430 shall come H935 (8804), [and] all the saints H6918 with thee.
[6] And it shall come to pass in that day H3117, [that] the light H216 shall not be clear H3368, [nor] dark H7087 (8675) H7087 (8799):
[7] But it shall be one H259 day H3117 which shall be known H3045 (8735) to the LORD H3068, not day H3117, nor night H3915: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening H6153 time H6256 it shall be light H216.
[8] And it shall be in that day H3117, [that] living H2416 waters H4325 shall go out H3318 (8799) from Jerusalem H3389; half H2677 of them toward the former H6931 sea H3220, and half H2677 of them toward the hinder H314 sea H3220: in summer H7019 and in winter H2779 shall it be.
[9] And the LORD H3068 shall be king H4428 over all the earth H776: in that day H3117 shall there be one H259 LORD H3068, and his name H8034 one H259.
[10] All the land H776 shall be turned H5437 (8735) as a plain H6160 from Geba H1387 to Rimmon H7417 south H5045 of Jerusalem H3389: and it shall be lifted up H7213 (8804), and inhabited H3427 (8804) in her place, from Benjamin’s H1144 gate H8179 unto the place H4725 of the first H7223 gate H8179, unto the corner H6434 gate H8179, and [from] the tower H4026 of Hananeel H2606 unto the king’s H4428 winepresses H3342.
[11] And [men] shall dwell H3427 (8804) in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction H2764; but Jerusalem H3389 shall be safely H983 inhabited H3427 (8804).
[12] And this shall be the plague H4046 wherewith the LORD H3068 will smite H5062 (8799) all the people H5971 that have fought H6633 (8804) against Jerusalem H3389; Their flesh H1320 shall consume away H4743 (8687) while they stand H5975 (8802) upon their feet H7272, and their eyes H5869 shall consume away H4743 (8735) in their holes H2356, and their tongue H3956 shall consume away H4743 (8735) in their mouth H6310.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day H3117, [that] a great H7227 tumult H4103 from the LORD H3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay hold H2388 (8689) every one H376 on the hand H3027 of his neighbour H7453, and his hand H3027 shall rise up H5927 (8804) against the hand H3027 of his neighbour H7453.
[14] And Judah H3063 also shall fight H3898 (8735) at Jerusalem H3389; and the wealth H2428 of all the heathen H1471 round about H5439 shall be gathered together H622 (8795), gold H2091, and silver H3701, and apparel H899, in great H3966 abundance H7230.
[15] And so shall be the plague H4046 of the horse H5483, of the mule H6505, of the camel H1581, and of the ass H2543, and of all the beasts H929 that shall be in these H1992 tents H4264, as this plague H4046.
[16] And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left H3498 (8737) of all the nations H1471 which came H935 (8802) against Jerusalem H3389 shall even go up H5927 (8804) from H1767 year H8141 to year H8141 to worship H7812 (8692) the King H4428, the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635, and to keep H2287 (8800) the feast H2282 of tabernacles H5521.
[17] And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up H5927 (8799) of [all] the families H4940 of the earth H776 unto Jerusalem H3389 to worship H7812 (8692) the King H4428, the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635, even upon them shall be no rain H1653.
[18] And if the family H4940 of Egypt H4714 go not up H5927 (8799), and come H935 (8804) not, that [have] no [rain]; there shall be the plague H4046, wherewith the LORD H3068 will smite H5062 (8799) the heathen H1471 that come not up H5927 (8799) to keep H2287 (8800) the feast H2282 of tabernacles H5521.
[19] This shall be the punishment H2403 of Egypt H4714, and the punishment H2403 of all nations H1471 that come not up H5927 (8799) to keep H2287 (8800) the feast H2282 of tabernacles H5521.
[20] In that day H3117 shall there be upon the bells H4698 of the horses H5483, HOLINESS H6944 UNTO THE LORD H3068; and the pots H5518 in the LORD’S H3068 house H1004 shall be like the bowls H4219 before H6440 the altar H4196.
[21] Yea, every pot H5518 in Jerusalem H3389 and in Judah H3063 shall be holiness H6944 unto the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635: and all they that sacrifice H2076 (8802) shall come H935 (8804) and take H3947 (8804) of them, and seethe H1310 (8765) therein: and in that day H3117 there shall be no more the Canaanite H3669 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635.
Young’s Literal Translation
Zechariah 14 (YLT)
[1] Lo, a day hath come to Jehovah, And divided hath been thy spoil in thy midst.
[2] And I have gathered all the nations unto Jerusalem to battle, And captured hath been the city, And spoiled have been the houses, And the women are lain with, Gone forth hath half the city in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not cut off from the city.
[3] And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.
[4] And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of Olives, That is before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the mount towards the north. And its half towards the south.
[5] And ye have fled to the valley of My mountains, For join doth the valley of the mountains to Azal, And ye have fled as ye fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of Judah, And come in hath Jehovah my God, All holy ones are with Thee.
[6] And it hath come to pass, in that day, The precious light is not, it is dense darkness,
[7] And there hath been one day, It is known to Jehovah, not day nor night, And it hath been at evening-time-there is light.
[8] And it hath come to pass, in that day, Go forth do living waters from Jerusalem, Half of them unto the eastern sea, And half of them unto the western sea, In summer and in winter it is.
[9] And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, and His name one.
[10] Changed is all the land as a plain, From Gebo to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, And she hath been high, and hath dwelt in her place, Even from the gate of Benjamin To the place of the first gate, unto the front gate, And from the tower of Hananeel, Unto the wine-vats of the king.
[11] And they have dwelt in her, And destruction is no more, And Jerusalem hath dwelt confidently.
[12] And this is the plague with which Jehovah Doth plague all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem, He hath consumed away its flesh, And it is standing on its feet, And its eyes are consumed in their holes, And its tongue is consumed in their mouth.
[13] And it hath come to pass, in that day, A great destruction from Jehovah is among them, And they have seized each the hand of his neighbour, And gone up hath his hand against the hand of his neighbour.
[14] And also Judah is fought with in Jerusalem, And gathered hath been the force of all the nations round about, Gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
[15] And so is the plague of the horse, of the mule, Of the camel, and of the ass, And of all the cattle that are in these camps, As this plague.
[16] And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths.
[17] And it hath come to pass, That he who doth not go up of the families of the land unto Jerusalem, To bow himself to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower.
[18] And if the family of Egypt go not up, nor come in, Then not on them is the plague With which Jehovah doth plague the nations That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.
[19] This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the punishment of the sin of all the nations, That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths.
[20] In that day there is on bells of the horse, ‘Holy to Jehovah,’ And the pots in the house of Jehovah Have been as bowls before the altar.
[21] And every pot in Jerusalem, and in Judah, Have been holy to Jehovah of Hosts, And all those sacrificing have come in, And have taken of them, and boiled in them, And there is no merchant any more in the house of Jehovah of Hosts in that day!
