Zechariah 撒迦利亚书12
1This is the word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord , who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him, declares:
2"I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged 1 as well as Jerusalem.
3On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
4On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord . "I will keep a watchful 2 eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.
5Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty 3 is their God.'
6"On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
7"The Lord will save the dwellings 4 of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.
8On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord going before them.
9On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
10"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication 5. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
11On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12The land will mourn, each clan 6 by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
13the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
14and all the rest of the clans 7 and their wives.
