Yahweh Will Battle the Nations

1 Behold ^H2009, a day ^H3117 is coming ^H935 for Yahweh ^H3068 when the spoil ^H7998 taken from you will be divided ^H2505 among ^H7130 you.

2 Indeed, I will gather ^H622 all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 against ^H413 Jerusalem ^H3389 to battle ^H4421, and the city ^H5892 will be captured ^H3920, the houses ^H1004 plundered ^H8155, the women ^H802 ravished ^H7693, and half ^H2677 of the city ^H5892 will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 in exile ^H1473, but those left ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 will not be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 from the city ^H5892. 3 Then Yahweh ^H3068 will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 and fight ^H3898 against those ^H1992 nations ^H1471, as the day ^H3117 when He fights ^H3898 on a day ^H3117 of battle ^H7128. 4 And in that day ^H3117 His feet ^H7272 will stand ^H5975 on the Mount ^H2022 of Olives ^H2132, which ^H834 is in front ^H6440 of Jerusalem ^H3389 on the east ^H6924; and the Mount ^H2022 of Olives ^H2132 will be split ^H1234 in its middle ^H2677 from east ^H4217 to west ^H3220 by a very ^H3966 large ^H1419 valley ^H1516 so that half ^H2677 of the mountain ^H2022 will move ^H4185 toward the north ^H6828 and the other half ^H2677 toward the south ^H5045. 5 And you will flee ^H5127 by the valley ^H1516 of My mountains ^H2022, for the valley ^H1516 of the mountains ^H2022 will reach ^H5060 to Azel ^H682; indeed, you will flee ^H5127 just ^H834 as you fled ^H5127 before ^H4480 H6440 the earthquake ^H7494 in the days ^H3117 of Uzziah ^H5818 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063. Then Yahweh ^H3068, my God ^H430, will come ^H935, and all ^H3605 the holy ^H6918 ones ^H6918 with [fn]Him!

6 And it will be in that day ^H3117, that there will be no ^H3808 light ^H216; the [fn]luminaries ^H3368 will dwindle ^H7087. 7 And it will be a [fn]unique ^H259 day ^H3117 which ^H1931 is known ^H3045 to Yahweh ^H3068, neither ^H3808 day ^H3117 nor ^H3808 night ^H3915, but it will be ^H1961 that at evening ^H6153 time ^H6256 there will be light ^H216.

8 And it will be in that day ^H3117, that living ^H2416 waters ^H4325 will flow ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Jerusalem ^H3389, half ^H2677 of them toward ^H413 the eastern ^H6931 sea ^H3220 and the other half ^H2677 toward ^H413 the western ^H314 sea ^H3220; it will be in summer ^H7019 as well as in winter ^H2779.

Yahweh Will Be King over All

9 And Yahweh ^H3068 will be king ^H4428 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the earth ^H776; in that day ^H3117 Yahweh ^H3068 will be the only one ^H259, and His name ^H8034 one ^H259.

10 All ^H3605 the land ^H776 will be changed ^H5437 into a plain ^H6160 from Geba ^H1387 to Rimmon ^H7417 south ^H5045 of Jerusalem ^H3389; but [fn]Jerusalem will rise ^H7213 and inhabit ^H3427 its site ^H8478 from Benjamin’s ^H1144 Gate ^H8179 as far ^H5704 as the place ^H4725 of the First ^H7223 Gate ^H8179 to the Corner ^H6438 Gate ^H8179, and from the Tower ^H4026 of Hananel ^H2606 to the king’s ^H4428 wine ^H3342 presses ^H3342.

11 And [fn]people will inhabit ^H3427 it, and there will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be anything devoted ^H2764 to ^H2764 destruction ^H2764, for Jerusalem ^H3389 will be inhabited ^H3427 in security ^H983.

12 Now this ^H2088 will be the plague ^H4046 with which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 will plague ^H5062 all ^H3605 the peoples ^H5971 who ^H834 have gone ^H6633 to war ^H6633 against ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389; their flesh ^H1320 will rot ^H4743 while they stand ^H5975 on their feet ^H7272, and their eyes ^H5869 will rot ^H4743 in their sockets ^H2356, and their tongue ^H3956 will rot ^H4743 in their mouth ^H6310. 13 And it will be ^H1961 in that day ^H3117, that abundant ^H7227 confusion ^H4103 from Yahweh ^H3068 will [fn]fall ^H1961 on them; and they will take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of one ^H376 another’s ^H7453 hand ^H3027, and the hand ^H3027 of one will [fn]go ^H5927 up ^H5927 against ^H5921 the hand ^H3027 of another ^H7453. 14 And Judah ^H3063 also ^H1571 will fight ^H3898 at Jerusalem ^H3389; and the wealth ^H2428 of all ^H3605 the surrounding ^H5439 nations ^H1471 will be gathered ^H622, gold ^H2091 and silver ^H3701 and garments ^H899 in great ^H3966 abundance ^H7230. 15 And in ^H3651 the same ^H3651 way ^H3651, the plague ^H4046 on the horse ^H5483, the mule ^H6505, the camel ^H1581, the donkey ^H2543, and all ^H3605 the cattle ^H929 that will be in those ^H1992 camps ^H4264 will be like this ^H2088 plague ^H4046.

16 Then it will be ^H1961 that any ^H3605 who are left ^H3498 of all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 that went ^H935 against ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389 will go ^H5927 up ^H5927 from year ^H8141 to year ^H8141 to worship ^H2331 the King ^H4428, Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, and to celebrate ^H2287 the Feast ^H2282 of Booths ^H5521. 17 And it will be that whichever ^H834 of the families ^H4940 of the earth ^H776 does not go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Jerusalem ^H3389 to worship ^H2331 the King ^H4428, Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, there will be no ^H3808 rain ^H1653 on them. 18 And if ^H518 the family ^H4940 of Egypt ^H4714 does not go ^H5927 up ^H5927 or enter ^H935, then no ^H3808 rain will fall on them; it will be the plague ^H4046 with which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 plagues ^H5062 the nations ^H1471 who ^H834 do not go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to celebrate ^H2287 the Feast ^H2282 of Booths ^H5521. 19 This ^H2088 will be the [fn]punishment ^H2403 of Egypt ^H4714, and the [fn]punishment ^H2403 of all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 who ^H834 do not go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to celebrate ^H2287 the Feast ^H2282 of Booths ^H5521.

20 In that day ^H3117 there will be inscribed on the bells ^H4698 of the horses ^H5483, “Holy ^H6944 to Yahweh ^H3068.” And the pots ^H5518 in the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 will be like the bowls ^H4219 before ^H6440 the altar ^H4196. 21 And every ^H3605 pot ^H5518 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and in Judah ^H3063 will be holy ^H6944 to Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635; and all ^H3605 who sacrifice ^H2076 will come ^H935 and take ^H3947 of them and boil ^H1310 in them. And there will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be a [fn]Canaanite ^H3669 in the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 in that day ^H3117.
