Zechariah

Chapter 12

1 THE vision of the words of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and created the spirit of man within him:

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a fearful place to all the people round about her, also there shall be a siege both against Judah together with Jerusalem.

3 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will make Jerusalem a stone for all the people to trample on; all who trample on it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

4 On that day, says the LORD, I will smite all horses with stupor, and their riders with confusion; and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the Gentiles with blindness.

5 And the princes of Judah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are stronger than we through the LORD of hosts their God.

6 On that day I will make the princes of Judah like a fiery coal in the midst of wood, and like a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in its own place, even in Jerusalem.

7 The LORD also shall visit the tents of Judah, as at first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not magnify itself over the house of Judah.

8 On that day the LORD shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so that he who is weak among them on that day shall be like David; and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the LORD who is before them.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of mercies; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as they mourn for an only son, and shall grieve for him as they grieve over the first-born.

11 On that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Bar-amon in the plain of Megiddo.

12 And the land shall mourn, every family together; the family of the house of David together, and their wives together; the family of the house of Nathan together, and their wives together;

13 The family of the house of Levi together, and their wives together; and the family of the house of Simeon together, and their wives together;

14 All the families that are left shall mourn, each family together, and their wives together.

Chapter 12

1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 for Israel,3478 said5002 the LORD,3068 which stretches5186 forth the heavens,8064 and lays the foundation3248 of the earth,776 and forms3335 the spirit7307 of man120 within7130 him.

2 Behold,2009 I will make7760 Jerusalem3389 a cup5592 of trembling7478 to all3605 the people5971 round5439 about, when they shall be in the siege4692 both1571 against5921 Judah3063 and against5921 Jerusalem.3389

3 And in that day3117 will I make7760 Jerusalem3389 a burdensome4614 stone68 for all3605 people:5971 all3605 that burden6006 themselves with it shall be cut8295 in pieces, though all3605 the people1471 of the earth776 be gathered622 together against5921 it.

4 In that day,3117 said5002 the LORD,3068 I will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 with astonishment,8541 and his rider7392 with madness:7697 and I will open6491 my eyes5869 on the house1004 of Judah,3063 and will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 of the people5971 with blindness.5788

5 And the governors441 of Judah3063 shall say559 in their heart,3820 The inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 shall be my strength556 in the LORD3068 of hosts6635 their God.430

6 In that day3117 will I make7760 the governors441 of Judah3063 like an hearth3595 of fire784 among the wood,6086 and like a torch3940 of fire784 in a sheaf;5995 and they shall devour398 all3605 the people5971 round5439 about,1157 on5921 the right3225 hand3225 and on5921 the left:8040 and Jerusalem3389 shall be inhabited3427 again5750 in her own place,8478 even in Jerusalem.3389

7 The LORD3068 also shall save3467 the tents168 of Judah3063 first,7223 that the glory8597 of the house1004 of David1732 and the glory8597 of the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 do not magnify1431 themselves against5921 Judah.3063

8 In that day3117 shall the LORD3068 defend1598 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 and he that is feeble3782 among them at that day3117 shall be as David;1732 and the house1004 of David1732 shall be as God,430 as the angel4397 of the LORD3068 before6440 them.

9 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that I will seek1245 to destroy8045 all3605 the nations1471 that come935 against5921 Jerusalem.3389

10 And I will pour8210 on the house1004 of David,1732 and on the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 the spirit7307 of grace2580 and of supplications:8469 and they shall look5027 on me whom854 834 they have pierced,1856 and they shall mourn5594 for him, as one mourns5594 for his only3173 son, and shall be in bitterness4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness4843 for his firstborn.1060

11 In that day3117 shall there be a great1431 mourning4553 in Jerusalem,3389 as the mourning4553 of Hadadrimmon1910 in the valley1237 of Megiddon.4023

12 And the land776 shall mourn,5594 every family4940 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of David1732 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of Nathan5416 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905

13 The family4940 of the house1004 of Levi3878 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905 the family4940 of Shimei8097 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905

1 THE vision of the words of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus says the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and created the spirit of man within him:

1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 for Israel,3478 said5002 the LORD,3068 which stretches5186 forth the heavens,8064 and lays the foundation3248 of the earth,776 and forms3335 the spirit7307 of man120 within7130 him.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a fearful place to all the people round about her, also there shall be a siege both against Judah together with Jerusalem.

2 Behold,2009 I will make7760 Jerusalem3389 a cup5592 of trembling7478 to all3605 the people5971 round5439 about, when they shall be in the siege4692 both1571 against5921 Judah3063 and against5921 Jerusalem.3389

3 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will make Jerusalem a stone for all the people to trample on; all who trample on it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

3 And in that day3117 will I make7760 Jerusalem3389 a burdensome4614 stone68 for all3605 people:5971 all3605 that burden6006 themselves with it shall be cut8295 in pieces, though all3605 the people1471 of the earth776 be gathered622 together against5921 it.

4 On that day, says the LORD, I will smite all horses with stupor, and their riders with confusion; and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the Gentiles with blindness.

4 In that day,3117 said5002 the LORD,3068 I will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 with astonishment,8541 and his rider7392 with madness:7697 and I will open6491 my eyes5869 on the house1004 of Judah,3063 and will smite5221 every3605 horse5483 of the people5971 with blindness.5788

5 And the princes of Judah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are stronger than we through the LORD of hosts their God.

5 And the governors441 of Judah3063 shall say559 in their heart,3820 The inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 shall be my strength556 in the LORD3068 of hosts6635 their God.430

6 On that day I will make the princes of Judah like a fiery coal in the midst of wood, and like a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in its own place, even in Jerusalem.

6 In that day3117 will I make7760 the governors441 of Judah3063 like an hearth3595 of fire784 among the wood,6086 and like a torch3940 of fire784 in a sheaf;5995 and they shall devour398 all3605 the people5971 round5439 about,1157 on5921 the right3225 hand3225 and on5921 the left:8040 and Jerusalem3389 shall be inhabited3427 again5750 in her own place,8478 even in Jerusalem.3389

7 The LORD also shall visit the tents of Judah, as at first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not magnify itself over the house of Judah.

7 The LORD3068 also shall save3467 the tents168 of Judah3063 first,7223 that the glory8597 of the house1004 of David1732 and the glory8597 of the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 do not magnify1431 themselves against5921 Judah.3063

8 On that day the LORD shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so that he who is weak among them on that day shall be like David; and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the LORD who is before them.

8 In that day3117 shall the LORD3068 defend1598 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 and he that is feeble3782 among them at that day3117 shall be as David;1732 and the house1004 of David1732 shall be as God,430 as the angel4397 of the LORD3068 before6440 them.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

9 And it shall come1961 to pass in that day,3117 that I will seek1245 to destroy8045 all3605 the nations1471 that come935 against5921 Jerusalem.3389

10 And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of mercies; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as they mourn for an only son, and shall grieve for him as they grieve over the first-born.

10 And I will pour8210 on the house1004 of David,1732 and on the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 the spirit7307 of grace2580 and of supplications:8469 and they shall look5027 on me whom854 834 they have pierced,1856 and they shall mourn5594 for him, as one mourns5594 for his only3173 son, and shall be in bitterness4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness4843 for his firstborn.1060

11 On that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Bar-amon in the plain of Megiddo.

11 In that day3117 shall there be a great1431 mourning4553 in Jerusalem,3389 as the mourning4553 of Hadadrimmon1910 in the valley1237 of Megiddon.4023

12 And the land shall mourn, every family together; the family of the house of David together, and their wives together; the family of the house of Nathan together, and their wives together;

12 And the land776 shall mourn,5594 every family4940 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of David1732 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905 the family4940 of the house1004 of Nathan5416 apart,905 and their wives802 apart;905
