CHAPTER 12
The burden of the word of the L
ORD
for Israel, saith the L
ORD
, which stretcheth forth the heavens,
and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
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.
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.
4
In that day, saith the L
ORD
, 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.
5
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of
Jerusalem
shall be
my strength in the L
ORD
of hosts their God.
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.
7
The L
ORD
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.
8
In that day shall the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 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.
11
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as
the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12
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;
13
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives
apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14
All the families that remain, every family
apart, and their wives apart.
CHAPTER 13
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.
2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the L
ORD
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.
3
And it shall come to pass,
that
when any shall yet
prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for
