Zechariah 14

1Behold, a day of Yehovah is coming, when your plunder shall be divided in the midst of you. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped; and half of the city shall go out into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then Yehovah shall go out, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be split in the middle toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5And you shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Yehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with you. 6And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves: 7but it shall be one day which is known to Yehovah; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. 8And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter it shall be. 9And Yehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day Yehovah shall be one, and his name one. 10All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely. 12And this shall be the plague with which Yehovah will strike all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall rot away in their sockets, and their tongue shall rot away in their mouth. 13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great panic from Yehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. 14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance. 15And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, like that plague. 16And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17And it shall be, that whoever of all the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain. 18And if the family of Egypt does not go up, and does not come, neither shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague with which Yehovah will strike the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 20In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY To YEHOVAH; and the pots in Yehovah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21Indeed, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to Yehovah of hosts; and all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them: and in that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yehovah of hosts.
