[1] Behold, a day of the LORD is coming, when the spoil taken from you will
be divided in the midst of you. [2] For I will gather all the nations
against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses
plundered and the women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but
the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [3] Then the
LORD will go forth and fight against those nations as when he fights on a
day of battle. [4] On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives
which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall be
split in two from east to west by a very wide valley; so that one half of
the Mount shall withdraw northward, and the other half southward. [5] And
the valley of my mountains shall be stopped up, for the valley of the
mountains shall touch the side of it; and you shall flee as you fled from
the earthquake in the days of Uzzi'ah king of Judah. Then the LORD your God
will come, and all the holy ones with him. [6] On that day there shall be
neither cold nor frost. [7] And there shall be continuous day (it is known
to the LORD), not day and not night, for at evening time there shall be
light. [8] On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of
them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; it shall
continue in summer as in winter. [9] And the LORD will become king over all
the earth; on that day the LORD will be one and his name one. [10] The
whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of
Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft upon its site from the Gate of
Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the
Tower of Han'anel to the king's wine presses. [11] And it shall be
inhabited, for there shall be no more curse; Jerusalem shall dwell in
security. [12] And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite
all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot
while they are still on their feet, their eyes shall rot in their sockets,
and their tongues shall rot in their mouths. [13] And on that day a great
panic from the LORD shall fall on them, so that each will lay hold on the
hand of his fellow, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand
of the other; [14] even Judah will fight against Jerusalem. And the wealth
of all the nations round about shall be collected, gold, silver, and
garments in great abundance. [15] And a plague like this plague shall fall
on the horses, the mules, the camels, the asses, and whatever beasts may be
in those camps. [16] Then every one that survives of all the nations that
have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the
King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of booths. [17] And if any
of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King,
the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain upon them. [18] And if the family
of Egypt do not go up and present themselves, then upon them shall come the
plague with which the LORD afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep
the feast of booths. [19] This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the
punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of
booths. [20] And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the
horses, "Holy to the LORD." And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be
as the bowls before the altar; [21] and every pot in Jerusalem and Judah
shall be sacred to the LORD of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come
and take of them and boil the flesh of the sacrifice in them. And there
shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.
