Zech 14
1
Behold, a day of YHWH comes, when your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth
into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3
Then shall YHWH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the
day of battle.
4
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem
on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in its midst toward the
east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the
mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5
And you shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains
shall reach to Azel; yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and YHWH my God shall come, and all the holy
ones with you.
6
And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones
shall withdraw themselves:
7
but it shall be one day which is known to YHWH; not day, and not night; but it shall
come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light.
8
And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;
half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer
and in winter shall it be.
9
And YHWH shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall YHWH be one, and his
name one.
10
All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem;
and she shall be lifted up, and shall 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
And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall
dwell safely.
12
And this shall be the plague wherewith YHWH will smite all the peoples that have warred
against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,
and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth.
13
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from YHWH shall be among
them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand
shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about
shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass,
and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as that plague.
16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came
against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHWH of hosts,
and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17
And it shall be, that whoso of [all] the families of the earth goes not up to Jerusalem
to worship the King, YHWH of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain.
18
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither [shall it be] upon them;
there shall be the plague wherewith YHWH will smite the nations that go not up to
keep the feast of tabernacles.
19
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that
go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO JEHOVAH; and the
pots in YHWH`s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to YHWH of hosts; and all they
that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil therein: and in that day there
shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of YHWH of hosts.
