GetPassageurn:cts:pbc:bible.parallel.eng.darby:38urn:cts:pbc:bible.parallel.eng.darby:38In the eighth month , in the second year of Darius , came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet , the son of Berechiah , the son of Iddo , saying , Jehovah hath been very wroth with your fathers . And thou shalt say unto them , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Return unto me , saith Jehovah of hosts , and I will return unto you , saith Jehovah of hosts . Be ye not as your fathers , unto whom the former prophets cried , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Turn ye now from your evil ways , and from your evil doings ; but they did not hearken nor attend unto me , saith Jehovah . Your fathers , where are they ? and the prophets , do they live for ever ? But my words and my statutes , which I commanded my servants the prophets , did they not overtake your fathers ? And they turned and said , Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us , according to our ways and according to our doings , so hath he dealt with us . Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month , which is the month Shebat , in the second year of Darius , came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the prophet , the son of Berechiah , the son of Iddo , saying , I saw by night , and behold , a man riding upon a red horse , and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the low valley ; and behind him were red , bay , and white horses . And I said , My lord , what are these ? And the angel that talked with me said unto me , I will shew thee what these are . And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said , These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth . And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees , and said , We have walked to and fro through the earth , and behold , all the earth sitteth still and is at rest . And the angel of Jehovah answered and said , Jehovah of hosts , how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah , against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years ? And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words , comforting words . And the angel that talked with me said unto me , Cry , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy , and I am wroth exceedingly with the nations that are at ease ; for I was but a little wroth , and they helped forward the affliction . Therefore thus saith Jehovah : I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies : my house shall be built in it , saith Jehovah of hosts , and the line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem . Cry further , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity , and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion , and shall yet choose Jerusalem . And I lifted up mine eyes , and saw , and behold four horns . And I said unto the angel that talked with me , What are these ? And he said to me , These are the horns which have scattered Judah , Israel , and Jerusalem . And Jehovah shewed me four craftsmen . And I said , What come these to do ? And he spoke , saying , Those are the horns which scattered Judah , so that no man lifted up his head ; but these are come to affright them , to cast out the horns of the nations , which lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it . And I lifted up mine eyes , and saw , and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand . And I said , Whither goest thou ? And he said unto me , To measure Jerusalem , to see what is the breadth thereof , and what is the length thereof . And behold , the angel that talked with me went forth ; and another angel went forth to meet him , and said unto him , Run , speak to this young man , saying , Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein ; and I , saith Jehovah , I will be unto her a wall of fire round about , and will be the glory in the midst of her . Ho , ho ! flee from the land of the north , saith Jehovah ; for I have scattered you abroad as the four winds of the heavens , saith Jehovah . Ho ! escape , Zion , that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon . For thus saith Jehovah of hosts : After the glory , hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil ; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye . For behold , I will shake my hand upon them , and they shall become a spoil to those that served them : and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me . Sing aloud and rejoice , daughter of Zion ; for behold , I come , and I will dwell in the midst of thee , saith Jehovah . And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day , and shall be unto me for a people ; and I will dwell in the midst of thee , and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee . And Jehovah shall inherit Judah [ as ] his portion in the holy land , and shall yet choose Jerusalem . Let all flesh be silent before Jehovah ; for he is risen up out of his holy habitation . And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah , and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him . And Jehovah said unto Satan , Jehovah rebuke thee , O Satan ! Yea , Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee ! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire ? And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments , and stood before the Angel . And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him , saying , Take away the filthy garments from off him . And unto him he said , See , I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee , and I clothe thee with festival-robes . And I said , Let them set a pure turban upon his head . And they set the pure turban upon his head , and clothed him with garments ; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by . And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : If thou wilt walk in my ways , and if thou wilt keep my charge , then thou shalt also judge my house , and shalt also keep my courts ; and I will give thee a place to walk among these that stand by . Hear now , Joshua the high priest , thou and thy fellows that sit before thee -- for they are men of portent -- for behold , I will bring forth my servant the Branch . For behold , the stone that I have laid before Joshua -- upon one stone are seven eyes ; behold , I will engrave the graving thereof , saith Jehovah of hosts , and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day . In that day , saith Jehovah of hosts , shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree . And the angel that talked with me came again , and waked me , as a man that is wakened out of his sleep . And he said unto me , What seest thou ? And I said , I see , and behold , a lamp-stand all of gold , with a bowl upon the top of it , and its seven lamps thereon , seven [ lamps ] and seven pipes to the lamps , which are upon the top thereof ; and two olive-trees beside it , one on the right of the bowl , and the other on the left of it . And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me , saying , What are these , my lord ? And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me , Knowest thou not what these are ? And I said , No , my lord . And he answered and spoke unto me , saying , This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel , saying , Not by might , nor by power , but by my Spirit , saith Jehovah of hosts . Who art thou , O great mountain ? before Zerubbabel [ thou dost become ] a plain ; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings : Grace , grace unto it ! And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house ; and his hands shall finish it : and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you . For who hath despised the day of small things ? Yea , they shall rejoice [ even ] those seven -- and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel : these are the eyes of Jehovah , which run to and fro in the whole earth . And I answered and said unto him , What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left ? And I answered the second time and said unto him , What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves ? And he spoke to me , saying , Knowest thou not what these are ? And I said , No , my lord . And he said , These are the two sons of oil , that stand before the Lord of the whole earth . And I lifted up mine eyes again , and saw , and behold , a flying roll . And he said unto me , What seest thou ? And I said , I see a flying roll : the length thereof is twenty cubits , and the breadth thereof ten cubits . And he said unto me , This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land : for every one that stealeth shall be cut off according to it on this side ; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side . I will cause it to go forth , saith Jehovah of hosts , and it shall enter into the house of the thief , and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name ; and it shall lodge in the midst of his house , and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof . And the angel that talked with me went forth , and said unto me , Lift up now thine eyes , and see what is this that goeth forth . And I said , What is it ? And he said , This is the ephah that goeth forth . And he said , This is their resemblance in all the land . And behold , there was lifted up a round plate of lead ; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah . And he said , This is Wickedness : and he cast her into the midst of the ephah ; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof . And I lifted up mine eyes , and saw , and behold , there came out two women , and the wind was in their wings ; and they had wings like the wings of a stork ; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens . And I said to the angel that talked with me , Whither do these carry the ephah ? And he said unto me , To build it a house in the land of Shinar ; and it shall be established , and set there upon its own base . And I lifted up mine eyes again , and saw , and behold , there came four chariots out from between two mountains ; and the mountains were mountains of brass . In the first chariot were red horses ; and in the second chariot black horses ; and in the third chariot white horses ; and in the fourth chariot grisled , strong horses . And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me , What are these , my lord ? And the angel answered and said unto me , These are the four spirits of the heavens , which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth . That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country ; and the white go forth after them ; and the grisled go forth towards the south country ; and the strong go forth , and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth . And he said , Go , walk to and fro through the earth . And they walked to and fro through the earth . And he cried unto me , and spoke unto me , saying , See , these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country . And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , Take [ gifts ] of them of the captivity , of Heldai , of Tobijah , and of Jedaiah , and come thou the same day , and enter into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah , whither they are come from Babylon ; yea , take silver and gold , and make crowns , and set [ them ] upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak , the high priest ; and speak unto him , saying , Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts , saying , Behold a man whose name is [ the ] Branch ; and he shall grow up from his own place , and he shall build the temple of Jehovah : even he shall build the temple of Jehovah ; and he shall bear the glory , and shall sit and rule upon his throne ; and he shall be a priest upon his throne ; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both . And the crowns shall be for Helem , and for Tobijah , and for Jedaiah , and for Hen the son of Zephaniah , for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah . And they that are far off shall come and build at the temple of Jehovah : and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you . And [ this ] shall come to pass , if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God . And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius , that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah on the fourth [ day ] of the ninth month , [ even ] in Chislev , when Bethel had sent Sherezer and Regem-melech , and his men , to supplicate Jehovah , [ and ] to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts , and to the prophets , saying , Should I weep in the fifth month , separating myself , as I have done now so many years ? And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me , saying , Speak unto all the people of the land , and to the priests , saying , When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [ month ] , even those seventy years , did ye really fast unto me , [ even ] unto me ? And when ye ate , and when ye drank , was it not you that were eating and drinking ? Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets , when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace , and her cities round about her , when the south and the lowland were inhabited ? And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah , saying , Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts , saying , Execute true judgment , and shew loving-kindness and mercies one to another , and oppress not the widow and the fatherless , the stranger and the afflicted ; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart . But they refused to hearken , and turned a rebellious shoulder , and made their ears heavy , that they should not hear . And they made their heart [ as ] an adamant , that they should not hear the law , and the words that Jehovah of hosts sent by his Spirit by the hand of the former prophets : therefore was there great wrath from Jehovah of hosts . And it came to pass , like as he called , and they would not hear , so they called , and I would not hear , saith Jehovah of hosts ; and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not , and the land was desolate after them , so that no one passed through nor returned ; and they laid the pleasant land desolate . And the word of Jehovah of hosts came [ unto me ] , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy , and I am jealous for her with great fury . Thus saith Jehovah : I am returned unto Zion , and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem ; and Jerusalem shall be called , The city of truth ; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts , The holy mountain . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : There shall yet old men and old women sit in the streets of Jerusalem , each one with his staff in his hand for multitude of days . And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : If it be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days , should it also be wonderful in mine eyes ? saith Jehovah of hosts . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Behold , I will save my people from the east country and from the west country ; and I will bring them , and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem ; and they shall be my people , and I will be their God , in truth and in righteousness . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Let your hands be strong , ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets , that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid , that the temple might be built . For before those days there was no hire for man , nor any hire for beast ; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in , because of the distress : for I let loose all men , every one against his neighbour . But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days , saith Jehovah of hosts ; for the seed shall be prosperous , the vine shall give its fruit , and the ground shall give its produce , and the heavens shall give their dew ; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [ things ] . And it shall come to pass , like as ye were a curse among the nations , O house of Judah and house of Israel , so will I save you , and ye shall be a blessing : fear ye not , let your hands be strong . For thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Like as I thought to do you evil when your fathers provoked me to wrath , saith Jehovah of hosts , and I repented not ; so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah : fear ye not . These are the things that ye shall do : Speak truth every one with his neighbour ; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates ; and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour ; and love no false oath : for all these are [ things ] that I hate , saith Jehovah . And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me , saying , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : The fast of the fourth [ month ] and the fast of the fifth , and the fast of the seventh , and the fast of the tenth , shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness , and cheerful gatherings . Love ye then truth and peace . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Yet again shall there come peoples , and the inhabitants of many cities ; and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another , saying , Let us go speedily to supplicate Jehovah , and to seek Jehovah of hosts : I will go also . And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem , and to supplicate Jehovah . Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : In those days shall ten men take hold , out of all languages of the nations , shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew , saying , We will go with you ; for we have heard [ that ] God is with you . The burden of the word of Jehovah , in the land of Hadrach , and [ on ] Damascus shall it rest ; ( for Jehovah hath an eye upon men , and upon all the tribes of Israel ; ) and also [ on ] Hamath [ which ] bordereth thereon ; on Tyre and Zidon , though she be very wise . And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold , and hath heaped up silver as the dust , and fine gold as the mire of the streets . Behold , the Lord will take possession of her , and he will smite her power in the sea ; and she shall be devoured with fire . Ashkelon shall see [ it ] , and fear ; Gazah also , and she shall be greatly pained ; Ekron also , for her expectation shall be put to shame : and the king shall perish from Gazah , and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited . And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod , and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines ; and I will take away his blood out of his mouth , and his abominations from between his teeth ; but he that remaineth , he also shall belong to our God , and shall be as a leader in Judah , and Ekron as a Jebusite . And I will encamp about my house because of the army , because of those that pass by and that return ; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more : for now have I seen [ it ] with mine eyes . Rejoice greatly , daughter of Zion ; shout , daughter of Jerusalem ! Behold , thy King cometh to thee : he is just , and having salvation ; lowly and riding upon an ass , even upon a colt the foal of an ass . And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim , and the horse from Jerusalem ; and the battle-bow shall be cut off . And he shall speak peace unto the nations ; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea , and from the river to the ends of the earth . As for thee also , by the blood of thy covenant , I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water . Turn again to the stronghold , prisoners of hope ! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee . For I have bent Judah for me , I have filled the bow with Ephraim ; and I will raise up thy sons , O Zion , against thy sons , O Greece , and make thee like the sword of a mighty man . And Jehovah shall be seen over them , and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning ; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet , and will march with whirlwinds of the south . Jehovah of hosts will defend them ; and they shall devour , and shall tread down the sling-stones ; and they shall drink , [ and ] make a noise as from wine ; and they shall be filled like a bowl , like the corners of the altar . And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people ; for [ they shall be as ] the stones of a crown , lifted up upon his land . For how great is his goodness , and how great is his beauty ! Corn shall make the young men flourish , and new wine the maidens . Ask of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain ; Jehovah will make lightnings , and he will give them showers of rain , to every one grass in the field . For the teraphim have spoken vanity , and the diviners have seen a lie , and have told false dreams : they comfort in vain . Therefore they have gone away as a flock , they are in distress , because there is no shepherd . Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds , and I will punish the he-goats ; for Jehovah of hosts visiteth his flock , the house of Judah , and maketh them as his majestic horse in the battle . From him shall come forth the corner-stone , from him the nail , from him the battle bow , from him every exactor together . And they shall be as mighty men , treading down the mire of the streets in the battle ; and they shall fight , for Jehovah is with them , and the riders on horses shall be put to shame . And I will strengthen the house of Judah , and I will save the house of Joseph , and I will bring them back again ; for I will have mercy upon them ; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off : for I am Jehovah their God , and I will answer them . And [ they of ] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man , and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine ; and their children shall see [ it ] , and rejoice ; their heart shall be joyful in Jehovah . I will hiss for them , and gather them ; for I have redeemed them : and they shall multiply as they used to multiply . And I will sow them among the peoples , and they shall remember me in far countries ; and they shall live with their children and return . And I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt , and gather them out of Assyria ; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon ; and [ place ] shall not be found for them . And he shall pass through the sea of affliction , and shall smite the billows in the sea , and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up ; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down , and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away . And I will strengthen them in Jehovah ; and they shall walk in his name , saith Jehovah . Open thy doors , O Lebanon , that the fire may devour thy cedars . Howl , cypress , for the cedar is fallen ; because the noble ones are spoiled . Howl , ye oaks of Bashan ; for the strong forest is come down . A voice of howling of the shepherds ; for their glory is spoiled : a voice of roaring of young lions ; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled . Thus saith Jehovah my God : Feed the flock of slaughter , whose possessors slay them without being held guilty ; and they that sell them say , Blessed be Jehovah ! for I am become rich ; and their own shepherds pity them not . For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land , saith Jehovah , and behold , I will deliver men , every one into his neighbour's hand , and into the hand of his king ; and they shall smite the land , and I will not deliver out of their hand . So I fed the flock of slaughter , truly the poor of the flock . And I took unto me two staves ; the one I called Beauty , and the other I called Bands ; and I fed the flock . And I destroyed three shepherds in one month ; and my soul was vexed with them , and their soul also loathed me . And I said , I will not feed you : that which dieth , let it die ; and that which perisheth let it perish ; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another . And I took my staff , Beauty , and cut it asunder , that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples . And it was broken in that day ; and so the poor of the flock that gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah . And I said unto them , If ye think good , give [ me ] my hire ; and if not , forbear . And they weighed for my hire thirty silver-pieces . And Jehovah said unto me , Cast it unto the potter : a goodly price that I was prized at by them . And I took the thirty silver-pieces , and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah . And I cut asunder mine other staff , Bands , to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel . And Jehovah said unto me , Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd . For behold , I will raise up a shepherd in the land , who shall not visit those that are about to perish , neither shall seek that which is strayed away , nor heal that which is wounded , nor feed that which is sound ; but he will eat the flesh of the fat , and tear their hoofs in pieces . Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock ! The sword shall be upon his arm , and upon his right eye ; his arm shall be clean dried up , and his right eye utterly darkened . The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel . [ Thus ] saith Jehovah , who stretcheth out the heavens , and layeth the foundation of the earth , and formeth the spirit of man within him : Behold , I will make Jerusalem a cup of bewilderment unto all the peoples round about , and also against Judah shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem . And it shall come to pass in that day [ that ] I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone unto all peoples : all that burden themselves with it shall certainly be wounded , and all the nations of the earth shall be assembled together against it . In that day , saith Jehovah , I will smite every horse with astonishment , and his rider with madness ; but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah , and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness . And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart , The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength through Jehovah of hosts their God . In that day will I make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among wood , and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ; and they shall devour all the peoples round about , on the right hand and on the left ; and Jerusalem shall dwell again in her own place , in Jerusalem . And Jehovah shall save the tents of Judah first , that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified over Judah . In that day will Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; and he that stumbleth among them at that day shall be as David ; and the house of David as God , as the Angel of Jehovah before them . And it shall come to pass in that day , [ that ] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem . And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications ; and they shall look on me whom they pierced , and they shall mourn for him , as one mourneth for an only [ son ] , and shall be in bitterness for him , as one that is in bitterness for [ his ] firstborn . In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem , as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon . And the land shall mourn , every family apart : the family of the house of David apart , and their wives apart ; the family of the house of Nathan apart , and their wives apart ; the family of the house of Levi apart , and their wives apart ; the family of Shimei apart , and their wives apart ; all the families that remain , every family apart , and their wives apart . In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness . And it shall come to pass in that day , saith Jehovah of hosts , [ that ] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land , and they shall no more be remembered ; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land . And it shall come to pass , if any shall yet prophesy , that his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him , Thou shalt not live ; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah ; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth . And it shall come to pass in that day , [ that ] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision , when he prophesieth ; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive . And he shall say , I am no prophet , I am a tiller of the ground ; for man acquired me [ as bondman ] from my youth . And one shall say unto him , What are those wounds in thy hands ? And he will say , Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends . Awake , O sword , against my shepherd , even against the man [ that is ] my fellow , saith Jehovah of hosts : smite the shepherd , and the sheep shall be scattered , and I will turn my hand upon the little ones . And it shall come to pass in all the land , saith Jehovah , two parts therein shall be cut off [ and ] die ; but the third shall be left therein . And I will bring the third part into the fire , and will refine them as silver is refined , and will try them as gold is tried . They shall call on my name , and I will answer them : I will say , It is my people ; and they shall say , Jehovah is my God . Behold , the day cometh for Jehovah , and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee . And I will assemble all the 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 rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city . And Jehovah will go forth and fight with those nations , as when he fought in the day of battle . And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives , which is before Jerusalem toward the east , and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west , -- a very great valley ; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north , and half of it toward the south . And ye shall flee [ by ] the valley of my mountains ; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal : ye shall even flee , like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah . And Jehovah my God shall come , [ and ] all the holy ones with thee . And it shall come to pass in that day , [ that ] there shall not be light ; the shining shall be obscured . And it shall be one day which is known to Jehovah , not day , and not night ; and it shall come to pass , at eventide it shall be light . 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 hinder sea : in summer and in winter shall it be . And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth : in that day shall there be one Jehovah , and his name one . All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem shall be turned as the Arabah ; and [ Jerusalem ] shall be lifted up , and shall dwell in her own place , from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate , unto the corner-gate , and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses . And [ men ] shall dwell in it , and there shall be no more utter destruction ; and Jerusalem shall dwell safely . And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah 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 holes , and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth . And it shall come to pass in that day [ that ] a great panic from Jehovah shall be among them ; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour , and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour . And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem ; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together -- gold , and silver , and garments , in great abundance . 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 this plague . And it shall come to pass , that all that are left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King , Jehovah of hosts , and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles . And it shall be , that whoso goeth not up of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King , Jehovah of hosts , upon them shall be no rain . And if the family of Egypt go not up , and come not , neither [ shall it be ] upon them ; [ there ] shall be the plague , wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles . This shall be the punishment of Egypt , and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to celebrate the feast of tabernacles . In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses , HOLINESS UNTO JEHOVAH ; and the pots in Jehovah's house shall be like the bowls before the altar . And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Jehovah of hosts ; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them , and seethe therein . And in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts .
