1 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all the Gentiles against Jerusalem in battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord shall go forth and fight against those Gentiles as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, making a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; and ye shall flee like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my God shall come, and all his saints with him.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day that the light shall not be clear, nor dark;
7 but it shall be one day which is known to the Lord, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter it shall be.
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord shall be one, and his name one.
10 All the land shall become a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate unto the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and it shall never be anathema again; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the peoples that fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day that a great destruction from the Lord shall be in them, for they shall lay hold each one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the Gentiles round about shall be gathered together: gold and silver and apparel in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that were in the armies.
16 And every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of the hosts, and to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.
17 And it shall be that whoever will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of the hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, there shall be no rain upon them; instead there shall be the plague, with which the Lord will smite the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of the sin of Egypt and of the sin of all the Gentiles that do not come up to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles.
20 In that day there shall be written upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of the hosts; and all those that sacrifice shall come and take of them and cook therein; and in that time there shall be no more merchandizing in the house of the Lord of the hosts.
