1
The burden[H4853] of the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] for Israel[H3478], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068], which stretcheth[H5186] forth the heavens[H8064], and layeth the foundation[H3245] of the earth[H776], and formeth[H3335] the spirit[H7307] of man[H120]within[H7130] him.
2
Behold, I will make[H7760]Jerusalem[H3389] a cup[H5592] of trembling[H7478] unto all the people[H5971] round about[H5439], when they shall be in the siege[H4692] both against Judah[H3063] and against Jerusalem[H3389].
3
And in that day[H3117] will I make[H7760]Jerusalem[H3389] a burdensome[H4614]stone[H68] for all people[H5971]: all that burden[H6006] themselves with it shall be cut in pieces[H8295], though all the people[H1471] of the earth[H776] be gathered together[H622] against it.
4
In that day[H3117], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068], I will smite[H5221] every horse[H5483] with astonishment[H8541], and his rider[H7392] with madness[H7697]: and I will open[H6491] mine eyes[H5869] upon the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063], and will smite[H5221] every horse[H5483] of the people[H5971] with blindness[H5788].
5
And the governors[H441] of Judah[H3063] shall say[H559] in their heart[H3820], The inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389] shall be my strength[H556] in the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] their God[H430].
6
In that day[H3117] will I make[H7760] the governors[H441] of Judah[H3063] like an hearth[H3595] of fire[H784] among the wood[H6086], and like a torch[H3940] of fire[H784] in a sheaf[H5995]; and they shall devour[H398] all the people[H5971] round about[H5439], on the right hand[H3225] and on the left[H8040]: and Jerusalem[H3389] shall be inhabited[H3427] again in her own place, even in Jerusalem[H3389].
7
The LORD[H3068] also shall save[H3467] the tents[H168] of Judah[H3063]first[H7223], that the glory[H8597] of the house[H1004] of David[H1732] and the glory[H8597] of the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389] do not magnify[H1431] themselves against Judah[H3063].
8
In that day[H3117] shall the LORD[H3068]defend[H1598] the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389]; and he that is feeble[H3782] among them at that day[H3117] shall be as David[H1732]; and the house[H1004] of David[H1732] shall be as God[H430], as the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068]before[H6440] them.
9
And it shall come[H935] to pass in that day[H3117], that I will seek[H1245] to destroy[H8045] all the nations[H1471] that come[H935] against Jerusalem[H3389].
10
And I will pour[H8210] upon the house[H1004] of David[H1732], and upon the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389], the spirit[H7307] of grace[H2580] and of supplications[H8469]: and they shall look[H5027] upon me whom they have pierced[H1856], and they shall mourn[H4553] for him, as one mourneth[H5594] for his only[H3173] son, and shall be in bitterness[H4843] for him, as one that is in bitterness[H4843] for his firstborn[H1060].
11
In that day[H3117] shall there be a great[H1431]mourning[H4553] in Jerusalem[H3389], as the mourning[H4553] of Hadadrimmon[H1910] in the valley[H1237] of Megiddon[H4023].
12
And the land[H776] shall mourn[H5594], every[H4940]family[H4940]apart[H905]; the family[H4940] of the house[H1004] of David[H1732]apart[H905], and their wives[H802]apart[H905]; the family[H4940] of the house[H1004] of Nathan[H5416]apart[H905], and their wives[H802]apart[H905];
13
The family[H4940] of the house[H1004] of Levi[H3878] apart, and their wives[H802] apart; the family[H4940] of Shimei[H8097] apart, and their wives[H802] apart;
14
All the families[H4940] that remain[H7604], every family[H4940] apart, and their wives[H802] apart.
