Zechariah 14 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

God Will Battle Jerusalem's Foes

(cf. Eze 38; 39; Mar 13; Rev 20—22 )

Zec 14:1

Zec 14:1Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.

Zec 14:2

Zec 14:2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

Zec 14:3

Zec 14:3Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as [fn]when He fights on a day of battle.

Zec 14:4

Zec 14:4In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.

Zec 14:5

Zec 14:5You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with [fn]Him!

Zec 14:6

Zec 14:6In that day there will be no light; the [fn]luminaries will dwindle.

Zec 14:7

Zec 14:7For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light.

Zec 14:8

Zec 14:8And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

God Will Be King over All

Zec 14:9

Zec 14:9And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one.

Zec 14:10

Zec 14:10All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but [fn]Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.

Zec 14:11

Zec 14:11[fn]People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.

Zec 14:12

Zec 14:12Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.

Zec 14:13

Zec 14:13It will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will [fn]fall on them; and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will [fn]be lifted against the hand of another.

Zec 14:14

Zec 14:14Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance.

Zec 14:15

Zec 14:15So also like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.

Zec 14:16

Zec 14:16Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

Zec 14:17

Zec 14:17And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.

Zec 14:18

Zec 14:18If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

Zec 14:19

Zec 14:19This will be the [fn]punishment of Egypt, and the [fn]punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

Zec 14:20

Zec 14:20In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO THE LORD.” And the cooking pots in the LORD’S house will be like the bowls before the altar.

Zec 14:21

Zec 14:21Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a [fn]Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts in that day.
