Zechariah 14:1–14

Yahweh Will Battle the Nations

¹Behold, a ^aday is coming for Yahweh when ^bthe spoil taken from you will be divided among you.

²Indeed, I will ^agather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the ^bhouses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city will go forth in exile, but those left of the people will not be cut off from the city.

³Then Yahweh will go forth and ^afight against those nations, as the day when He fights on a day of battle.

⁴And in that day His feet will ^astand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be ^bsplit in its middle from east to west by a very large valley so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.

⁵And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; indeed, you will flee just as you fled before the ^aearthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. ^bThen Yahweh, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with ¹Him!

⁶And it will be in that day, that there will be ^ano light; the ¹luminaries will dwindle.

⁷And it will be ^aa ¹unique day which is ^bknown to Yahweh, neither day nor night, but it will be that at ^cevening time there will be light.

⁸And it will be in that day, ^athat living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

Yahweh Will Be King over All

⁹And Yahweh will be ^aking over all the earth; in that day Yahweh will be the only ^bone, and His name one.

¹⁰All the land will be changed into a plain from ^aGeba to ^bRimmon south of Jerusalem; but ¹Jerusalem will ^crise and ^dinhabit its site from ^eBenjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the ^fCorner Gate, and from the ^gTower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.

¹¹And ¹people will inhabit it, and there will ^ano longer be anything devoted to destruction, for Jerusalem will ^bbe inhabited in security.

¹²Now this will be the plague with which Yahweh will plague all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will ^arot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.

¹³And it will be in that day, that abundant confusion from Yahweh will ¹fall on them; and they will ^atake hold of one another’s hand, and the hand of one will ²go up against the hand of another.

^14aAnd Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the ^bwealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance.
