1 The bur­den of the word of the LORD for Is­rael, saith the LORD, which stretch­eth forth the heav­ens, and layeth the foun­da­tion of the earth, and formeth the spir­it of man with­in him. 2 Be­hold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trem­bling unto all the peo­ple round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Ju­dah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a bur­den­some stone for all peo­ple: all that bur­den them­selves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the peo­ple of the earth be gath­ered to­geth­er against it. 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite ev­ery horse with as­ton­ish­ment, and his rid­er with mad­ness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Ju­dah, and will smite ev­ery horse of the peo­ple with blind­ness. 5 And the gov­er­nors of Ju­dah shall say in their heart, The in­hab­i­tants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God. 6 In that day will I make the gov­er­nors of Ju­dah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall de­vour all the peo­ple round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be in­hab­it­ed again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Ju­dah first, that the glo­ry of the house of David and the glo­ry of the in­hab­i­tants of Jerusalem do not mag­ni­fy themselves against Ju­dah. 8 In that day shall the LORD de­fend the in­hab­i­tants of Jerusalem; and he that is fee­ble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the an­gel of the LORD be­fore them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to de­stroy all the na­tions that come against Jerusalem. 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the in­hab­i­tants of Jerusalem, the spir­it of grace and of sup­pli­ca­tions: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mour­neth for his only son, and shall be in bit­ter­ness for him, as one that is in bit­ter­ness for his first­born. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourn­ing in Jerusalem, as the mourn­ing of Hadadrim­mon in the val­ley of Megid­don. 12 And the land shall mourn, ev­ery fam­i­ly apart; the fam­i­ly of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the fam­i­ly of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 13 The fam­i­ly of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the fam­i­ly of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 14 All the fam­i­lies that re­main, ev­ery fam­i­ly apart, and their wives apart.
