 The Book of the Prophet Zechariah 14

1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, when your spoil will be divided in your midst.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished; half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as in the day when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And in that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is east of Jerusalem; and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west, forming a very large valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

5 And you will flee through the valley of my mountains (for the valley of the mountains will reach to Asel), and you will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah: then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with you, O Lord.

6 And it will happen on that day that there will be neither precious light nor thick darkness.

7 But it will be a day known to the Lord; it will be neither day nor night; and it will happen that in the evening there will be light.

8 On that day also it will happen that living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea, and half of them to the western sea; in summer and in winter this will happen.

9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth: on that day the Lord will be, and his name one.

10 All the land around will become a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; It will be raised up and inhabited in its place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.

11 They will live in it, and there will be no more accursed things, for Jerusalem will dwell securely.

12 This will be the plague the Lord will strike on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

13 In that day the Lord will throw a great disturbance among them; each will seize another by the hand, and each will lift up his hand against his neighbor’s hand.

14 Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the nations will be gathered all around—gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.

15 And the plague will be on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and all the animals that are in those armies, as was the plague on them.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever of the families of the earth goeth not up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of the Egyptians go not up, neither come, then shall come upon them the plague with which the Lord will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of the Egyptians, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 On that day the bells on the horses will be called: “Holiness to the Lord!” And the pots in the house of the Lord will be like basins before the altar.

21 All the pots in Jerusalem and Judah will be consecrated to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of them and cook in them. No longer will there be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord Almighty on that day.
