¹⁴See, a day is coming for the Lord, when the plunder taken from you will be divided in your midst.^* ²For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped; half the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.^* ³Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle.^* ⁴On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the mount shall withdraw northward and the other half southward.^* ⁵And you shall flee by the valley of the Lord’s mountain,^w for the valley between the mountains shall reach to Azal,^x and you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with him.^*

⁶On that day there shall not be^y either cold or frost.^z ⁷And there shall be continuous day (it is known to the Lord), not day and not night, for at evening time there shall be light.^*

⁸On that day living water shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the eastern sea and half of it to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter.^*

⁹And the Lord will become king over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be one and his name one.^*
