1

The burden of the word of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** for Israel, saith the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and* against Jerusalem.

3

¶ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

4

In that day, saith the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w**, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

5

And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be* my strength in the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** of hosts their God.

6

¶ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even* in Jerusalem.

7

The \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves* against Judah.

8

In that day shall the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be* as God, as the angel of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w** before them.

9

¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that* I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his* only son*, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his* firstborn.

11

In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

12

And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

13

The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

14

All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
