1 H4853 An oracle. H1697 The word H3068 of Yahweh H3478 concerning Israel. H3068 Yahweh, H5186 who stretches H8064 out the heavens, H3245 and lays the foundation H776 of the earth, H3335 and forms H7307 the spirit H120 of man H7130 within H5002 him says:

2 H7760 "Behold, I will make H3389 Jerusalem H5592 a cup H7478 of reeling H5439 to all the surrounding H5971 peoples, H3063 and on Judah H4692 also will it be in the siege H3389 against Jerusalem.

3 H3117 It will happen in that day, H7760 that I will make H3389 Jerusalem H4614 a burdensome H68 stone H5971 for all the peoples. H6006 All who burden H8295 themselves with it will be severely wounded, H1471 and all the nations H776 of the earth H622 will be gathered together against it.

4 H3117 In that day," H5002 says H3068 Yahweh, H5221 "I will strike H5483 every horse H8541 with terror, H7392 and his rider H7697 with madness; H6491 and I will open H5869 my eyes H1004 on the house H3063 of Judah, H5221 and will strike H5483 every horse H5971 of the peoples H5788 with blindness.

5 H441 The chieftains H3063 of Judah H559 will say H3820 in their heart, H3427 ‘The inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem H556 are my strength H3068 in Yahweh H6635 of Armies H430 their God.'

6 H3117 In that day H7760 I will make H441 the chieftains H3063 of Judah H3595 like a pan H784 of fire H6086 among wood, H784 and like a flaming H3940 torch H5995 among sheaves; H398 and they will devour H5439 all the surrounding H5971 peoples, H3225 on the right hand H8040 and on the left; H3389 and Jerusalem H3427 will yet again dwell H3389 in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

7 H3068 Yahweh H3467 also will save H168 the tents H3063 of Judah H7223 first, H8597 that the glory H1004 of the house H1732 of David H8597 and the glory H3427 of the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem H1431 not be magnified H3063 above Judah.

8 H3117 In that day H3068 Yahweh H1598 will defend H3427 the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem. H3782 He who is feeble H3117 among them at that day H1732 will be like David, H1004 and the house H1732 of David H430 will be like God, H4397 like the angel H3068 of Yahweh H6440 before them.

9 H3117 It will happen in that day, H1245 that I will seek H8045 to destroy H1471 all the nations H935 that come H3389 against Jerusalem.

10 H8210 I will pour H1004 on the house H1732 of David, H3427 and on the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem, H7307 the spirit H2580 of grace H8469 and of supplication; H5027 and they will look H1856 to me whom they have pierced; H4553 and they shall mourn H5594 for him, as one mourns H3173 for his only H4843 son, and will grieve bitterly H4843 for him, as one grieves H1060 for his firstborn.

11 H3117 In that day H1431 there will be a great H4553 mourning H3389 in Jerusalem, H4553 like the mourning H1910 of Hadadrimmon H1237 in the valley H4023 of Megiddon.

12 H776 The land H5594 will mourn, H4940 every H4940 family H905 apart; H4940 the family H1004 of the house H1732 of David H802 apart, and their wives H4940 apart; the family H1004 of the house H5416 of Nathan H802 apart, and their wives apart;

13 H4940 the family H1004 of the house H3878 of Levi H802 apart, and their wives H4940 apart; the family H8097 of the Shimeites H802 apart, and their wives apart;

14 H4940 all the families H7604 who remain, H4940 every family H802 apart, and their wives apart.
