Zechariah 12:4–9

⁴“In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will ¹watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

⁵“Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘¹A strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts, their God.’

⁶“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a ^afirepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the ^binhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem.

⁷“The Lord also will ^asave the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of ^bDavid and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah.

⁸“In that day the Lord will ^adefend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who ^1bis feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like ^cGod, like the ^dangel of the Lord before them.

⁹“And in that day I will ^1aset about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
