The Prophet Zechariah

Literal Standard Version 2020

- Kapitel 12 -

1
The burden of a word of YHWH on Israel. A declaration of YHWH, || Stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, || And forming the spirit of man in his midst:
2
Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling || To all the surrounding peoples, || And it is also against Judah, || In the siege against Jerusalem.
3
And it has come to pass in that day, || I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, || All loading it are completely pressed down, || And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.
4
In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, || “I strike every horse with astonishment, || And its rider with madness, || And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, || And every horse of the peoples I strike with blindness.
5
And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, || The inhabitants of Jerusalem [are] strength to me, || In YHWH of Hosts their God.
6
In that day I make the leaders of Judah || As a hearth of fire among trees, || And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, || And they have consumed—on the right and on the leftall the surrounding peoples, || And Jerusalem has again inhabited her place in Jerusalem.
7
And YHWH has saved the tents of Judah first, || So that the beauty of the house of David does not become great against Judah, || And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.
8
In that day YHWH covers over the inhabitant of Jerusalem, || And the stumbling among them has been in that day as David, || And the house of David as GodAs the Messenger of YHWHbefore them.
9
And it has come to pass in that day, || I seek to destroy all the nations || Who are coming in against Jerusalem,

Mourning the One They Pierced

(John 19:31–37)
10
And I have poured on the house of David, || And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, || The Spirit of grace and supplications, || And they have looked to Me whom they pierced, || And they have mourned over Him, || Like a mourning over the only one, || And they have been in bitterness for Him, || Like a bitterness over the firstborn.
11
In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, || As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon,
12
And the land has mournedevery family apart, || The family of the house of David apart, || And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, || And their women apart;
13
The family of the house of Levi apart, || And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, || And their women apart,
14
All the families that are left, || Every family apart, and their women apart!”
