14
1 Behold,
a day of
the LORD 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
the LORD 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.
The LORD 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 the
LORD—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 The
LORD will be
King over all
the earth. In that
day the LORD
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
the LORD 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 the LORD
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,
the LORD 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, the LORD
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 the LORD
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 THE LORD”;
and the pots
in the LORD’s
house will be
like the bowls
before the altar.
21 Yes, every
pot in Jerusalem
and in Judah
will be holy
to the LORD
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 the LORD
of Armies.
