1
Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and thy spoil shall be parted in the midst◦ of thee.
2
And I will gather all the nations to▵ Jerusalem to war; and the city shall be captured, and the houses pillaged, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go··forth into exile; but the remnant of the people shall not be cut··off from the city.
3
And Jehovah shall go··out, and fight against◦ those◦ nations, as the day He fought in the day of combat.
4
And His feet shall stand in that◦ day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem from the east, and the Mount of Olives shall split in the midst of it toward the sunrise and toward the west◦, and there shall be a very great ravine; and half of the mountain shall withdraw toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5
And you shall flee to the ravine of the mountains; for the ravine of My mountains shall reach to▵ Atsel; and you shall flee, as◦ you 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.
6
And it shall be in that◦ day, that there shall not be light, brilliant▵ nor sparkling;
7
but it shall be one day which shall be known to Jehovah, not day, nor night; but it shall be that at◦ evening time it shall be light.
8
And it shall be in that◦ day, living waters shall go··out from Jerusalem, half of them to▵ the eastern sea, and half of them to▵ the sea behind; in summer and in winter shall it be.
9
And Jehovah shall be for a king over all the earth; in that◦ day Jehovah shall be one, and His name one.
10
All the land shall be turned··around as a plain▵ from Gibea to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted··up◦, and dwell under herself, from the gate of Benjamin even··to the place of the first gate, even··to the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananeel even··to the winepresses of the king.
11
And they shall dwell in her, and there shall not be doom any··more, but Jerusalem shall dwell securely.
12
And this shall be the stroke with which Jehovah will strike all the peoples who were··an··army against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall decay while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes shall decay in their holes, and their tongue shall decay in their mouth.
13
And it shall be in that◦ day, that there shall be much panic◦ from Jehovah among◦ them; and they shall take··hold, a man◦ the hand of his companion, and his hand shall go··up against the hand of his companion.
14
And even Judah shall fight against* Jerusalem; and the belongings of all the nations all around shall be gathered··together, gold and silver, and garments, an exceeding multitude.
15
And so shall be the striking of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that shall be in these◦ camps, as this striking.
16
And it shall be, that all who remain from all the nations who came against Jerusalem shall as··often go··up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of Armies, and to celebrate the festival of shelters*.
17
And it shall be, whoever▵ will not come··up of the families of the earth to▵ Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of Armies, even▵ upon them shall be no◦ shower.
18
And if the family of Egypt should not go··up and not come, and there is not any with them, there shall be the plague◦ with which Jehovah will strike the nations who come· not ·up to celebrate the festival of shelters.
19
This shall be the sin of Egypt, and the sin of all the nations that come· not ·up to celebrate the festival of shelters.
20
In that◦ day there shall be on the bells◦ of the horses, Holiness unto Jehovah; and the pots in Jehovah’s house shall be like◦ the basins before the altar.
21
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto Jehovah of Armies; and all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and cook in them◦; and in that◦ day there shall be no◦ more◦ the Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of Armies.
