²I will gather all the nations^y to Jerusalem to fight against it;^z the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.^a Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.^b ³Then the Lord will go out and fight^c against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.^d ⁴On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,^e east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split^f in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. ⁵You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake^a^g in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,^h and all the holy ones with him.ⁱ

⁶On that day there will be neither sunlight^j nor cold, frosty darkness. ⁷It will be a unique^k day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.^l When evening comes, there will be light.^m

⁸On that day living waterⁿ will flow^o out from Jerusalem, half of it east^p to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.^q

⁹The Lord will be king^r over the whole earth.^s On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.^t
