Behold, a aday
is coming
for the LORD
when bthe spoil
taken from you will be divided
among
you.
For I will agather all
the nations
against
Jerusalem
to battle
, and the city
will be captured
, the bhouses
plundered
, the women
ravished
and half
of the city
exiled
, but the rest
of the people
will not be cut
off
from the city
.
Then the LORD will go
forth
and afight
against those
nations
, as 1when
He fights
on a day
of battle
.
In that day His feet
will astand
on the Mount
of Olives
, which
is in front
of Jerusalem
on the east
; and the Mount
of Olives
will be bsplit
in its middle
from east
to west
by a very
large
valley
, so that half
of the mountain
will move
toward the north
and the other half
toward the south
.
You will flee by the valley
of My mountains
, for the valley
of the mountains
will reach
to Azel
; yes, you will flee
just
as you fled
before
the aearthquake
in the days
of Uzziah
king
of Judah
. bThen the LORD
, my God
, will come
, and all
the holy
ones
with 1Him!
In that day there will be ano
light
; the 1luminaries
will dwindle
.
For it will be aa unique day
which
is bknown
to the LORD
, neither
day
nor
night
, but it will come
about that at cevening
time
there will be light
.
And in that day aliving
waters
will flow
out of Jerusalem
, half
of them toward
the eastern
sea
and the other half
toward
the western
sea
; it will be in summer
as well as in winter
.
And the LORD will be aking
over
all
the earth
; in that day
the LORD
will be the only bone
, and His name
the only one
.
All the land
will be changed
into a plain
from aGeba
to bRimmon
south
of Jerusalem
; but 1Jerusalem will crise
and dremain
on its site
from eBenjamin's
Gate
as far
as the place
of the First
Gate
to the fCorner
Gate
, and from the gTower
of Hananel
to the king's
wine
presses
.
1People will live in it, and there will ano
longer
be a curse
, for Jerusalem
will bdwell
in security
.
Now this will be the plague
with which
the LORD
will strike
all
the peoples
who
have gone
to war
against
Jerusalem
; their flesh
will arot
while they stand
on their feet
, and their eyes
will rot
in their sockets
, and their tongue
will rot
in their mouth
.
It will come about in that day
that a great
panic
from the LORD
will 1fall
on them; and they will aseize
one
another's
hand
, and the hand
of one will 2be lifted
against
the hand
of another
.
aJudah also
will fight
at Jerusalem
; and the bwealth
of all
the surrounding
nations
will be gathered
, gold
and silver
and garments
in great
abundance
.
So also like this
aplague
will be the plague
on the horse
, the mule
, the camel
, the donkey
and all
the cattle
that will be in those
camps
.
Then it will come about that any
who are left
of all
the nations
that went
against
Jerusalem
will ago
up from year
to year
to worship
the King
, the LORD
of hosts
, and to celebrate
the bFeast
of Booths
.
And it will be that whichever of the families
of the earth
does not go
up to Jerusalem
to worship
the aKing
, the LORD
of hosts
, there will be bno
rain
on them.
If the family
of Egypt
does not go
up or enter
, then no
rain will fall on them; it will be the aplague
with which
the LORD
smites
the nations
who
do not go
up to celebrate
the Feast
of Booths
.
This will be the 1punishment
of Egypt
, and the 1punishment
of all
the nations
who
do not go
up to celebrate
the Feast
of Booths
.
In that day there will be inscribed on the bells
of the horses
, " aHOLY
TO THE LORD
." And the bcooking
pots
in the LORD'S
house
will be like the bowls
before
the altar
.
Every cooking
pot
in Jerusalem
and in Judah
will be aholy
to the LORD
of hosts
; and all
who sacrifice
will come
and take
of them and boil
in them. And there will no
longer
be a 1 bCanaanite
in the house
of the LORD
of hosts
in that day
.
