1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1"Look! A day is coming for the LORD, when your plunder will be divided among you. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem, to lay siege against it. The city will be captured, the houses will be ransacked, the women raped, and half of the city will go into exile, but the remaining people will not be cut off from the city. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then the LORD will go out to battle against those nations, waging war as in a day of battle. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a very large valley, with half of the mountain moving toward the north and half toward the south. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5You will run away through my mountain valley, because the valley of the mountains will extend as far as Azal. You will flee, as you fled from the earthquake during the reign of King Uzziah of Judah. And so the LORD my God will come, and all his holy ones will be accompanying you." |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"At that time, the daylight will be neither bright nor overcast. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7It will be a unique day, known only to the LORD—neither daytime nor nighttime—and it will come about at twilight there will be light! |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8At that time, flowing waters will run perennially from Jerusalem, half toward the Dead Sea and half to the Mediterranean Sea. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The LORD will be king over all the earth at that time. There will be one LORD, and his name the only one. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The entire land will become like the Arabah plain from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. It will be raised up and inhabited where it is, from the Gate of Benjamin to the First Gate, then to the Corner Gate, to the Hananel Tower, and to the king's winepresses. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11People will live there, there will be no more destruction, and Jerusalem will be safely inhabited." |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"This will be the plague with which the LORD inflicts all of the people who have attacked Jerusalem: he will cause their flesh to rot away, even while they're standing on their feet. He will cause their eyes to rot away in their sockets, and their tongues to rot away in their mouths. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13At that time, they will be stricken with a terrible panic from the LORD. Everyone will attack each other. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Judah, too, will fight at Jerusalem. Then the wealth of the surrounding nations will be gathered up: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15A similar plague will also strike horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all of the animals in those camps." |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"It will come about that all of the survivors of the nations who came against Jerusalem will come there from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, and to observe the Festival of Tents. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17If anyone from the families of the earth will not come to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, there will be no rain for them. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18If the people of Egypt do not come to Jerusalem to take part, they will have no annual Nile overflow. A plague will come from the LORD to strike the nations who do not come to observe the Festival of Tents. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19This will be the punishment for Egypt and all nations who do not come to observe the Festival of Tents." |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"At that time, there will be written on the bells of the horses: HOLINESS TO THE LORD and the pots in the Temple of the LORD will be like the bowls in front of the altar— |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be consecrated to the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. Everyone who offers sacrifices will come, will take them, and will cook in them. Furthermore, at that time, there will no longer be a Canaanite in the Temple of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies." |
