Zechariah 12:1-10 The burden
of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth
the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the
spirit of man within him.
12:2 Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they
shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
12:3 And in that day will I
make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden
themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the
earth be gathered together against it.
12:4 In that day, saith the
LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with
madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite
every horse of the people with blindness.
12:5 And the governors of
Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my
strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
12:6 In that day will I make
the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a
torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round
about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited
again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
12:7 The LORD also shall
save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and
the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves
against Judah. 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of
Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David;
and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them.
12:9 And it shall come to
pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem.
12:10 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 upon me whom they have
pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son,
and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his
firstborn..
