¹²And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples that fight against Jerusalem: their^q flesh will rot while they^r are standing on their^s feet; their^t eyes will rot in their sockets, and their^u tongues^v will rot in their mouths.^w ¹³And then^x on that day a great panic from Yahweh will fall^y on them, and they will seize one another’s hand,^z and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of another.^a ¹⁴And Judah also will fight at^b Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—gold and silver, and garments in great abundance.^c ¹⁵Like this plague^d will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and every kind of animal in those camps.

¹⁶And then^e every survivor from all those nations coming against Jerusalem will go up year after year^f to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and celebrate the Feast of Booths.^g ¹⁷And then^h whoever of the clans of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, it will not rain on them. ¹⁸And if the clan of Egypt will not go up and come in, on them will be that plague Yahweh inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. ¹⁹This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
