Zechariah 14

1Behold, a day comes for Yahweh, and your plunder will be divided in your midst.

2I will assemble all nations against Jerusalem for battle; the city will be captured, houses plundered, and women raped, half the city will go into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

3Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought on the day of battle.

4His feet will stand that day on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will split down the middle eastward and westward into a very great valley, half the mountain shifting northward and half of it southward.

5You will flee through the valley of my mountains, because the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal; you will flee, as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and Yahweh my God will come, all the holy ones with you.

6In that day there will be no light; brightnesses will congeal and [there will be] frost.

7There will be one day known to Yahweh—not day, nor night—but at evening time there will be light.

8On that day living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; it will be so in summer and in winter.

9Yahweh will be king over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

10All the land will become a plain like the Arabah from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; she will rise up and remain in her place, from Benjamin's Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.

11They will dwell in it, and destruction will come no more; Jerusalem will dwell securely.

12This will be the plague with which Yahweh strikes all the peoples who wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh dissolving while they stand on their feet, their eyes dissolving in their sockets, and their tongue dissolving in their mouth.

13On that day a great panic from Yahweh will be among them, and they will each seize the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise against the hand of his neighbor.

14Judah also will fight in Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the nations all around will be gathered—gold, silver, and garments—in very great abundance.

15So the plague will strike horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that will be in those camps, just like this plague.

16It will be that all who remain from all the nations coming against Jerusalem will go up year by year to bow before King Yahweh of hosts and to celebrate the feast of booths.

17It will be that whoever among the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship King Yahweh of Hosts will have no rain upon them.

18And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, no rain will be upon them; that will be the plague Yahweh will strike the nations with that do not go up to celebrate the feast of booths.

19This will be punishment for Egypt, and punishment for all nations that do not go up to celebrate the feast of booths.

20On that day "Holy to Yahweh" will appear on the bells of the horses, and the pots in Yahweh's house will be like the bowls before the altar.

21Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to Yahweh of hosts, and all who sacrifice will come, take from them, and boil in them; no Canaanite will remain any longer in the house of Yahweh of hosts on that day.
