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.

¹⁴^aAnd 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.

¹⁵And in the same way, ^athe plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey, and all the cattle that will be in those camps will be like this plague.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

And on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. And a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.

They will fight their neighbors hand to hand. Judah, too, will be fighting at Jerusalem.

KJV 1900King James Version

And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people

That have fought against Jerusalem;

Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,

And their eyes shall consume away in their holes,

And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

And it shall come to pass in that day,

That a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them;

And they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour,

And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem;

And the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together,

Gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

And so shall be the plague of the horse,

Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass,

And of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
