Zechariah 14

Yahweh Will Battle the Nations

Behold, a ^aday is coming for Yahweh when ^bthe spoil taken from you will be divided among you. 2 Indeed, 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. 3 Then Yahweh will go forth and ^afight against those nations, as the day when He fights on a day of battle. 4 And 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. 5 And 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!
6 And it will be in that day, that there will be ^ano light; the ¹luminaries will dwindle. 7 And 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.
8 And 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

9 And Yahweh will be ^aking over all the earth; in that day Yahweh will be the only ^bone, and His name one.
10 All 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. 11 And ¹people will inhabit it, and there will ^ano longer be anything devoted to destruction, for Jerusalem will ^bbe inhabited in security.
12 Now 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. 13 And 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. 15 And 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.
16 Then it will be that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will ^ago up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, and to celebrate the ^bFeast of Booths. 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the ^aKing, Yahweh of hosts, there will be ^bno rain on them. 18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the ^aplague with which Yahweh plagues the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19 This will be the ¹punishment of Egypt, and the ¹punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
20 In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “^aHoly to Yahweh.” And the ^bpots in the house of Yahweh will be like the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be ^aholy to Yahweh of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a ¹^bCanaanite in the house of Yahweh of hosts in that day.
