1 Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and your plunder shall be divided in your midst.

2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. And the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished. And half the city shall go into exile and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 And Jehovah shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.
