ZECHARIAH
[XII
- 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.
- In that day, saith the Lord,
- 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.
- And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart,
- The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength
- In the Lord of hosts their God.
- 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.
- The Lord 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.
- In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
