KJ3 Literal Translation
Zechariah 14
The destroyers of Jerusalem destroyed. The coming of Christ. The plague of Jerusalem's enemies. The remnant shall turn to the Lord.
1Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and your plunder shall be divided in your midst.
2For 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.
3And Jehovah shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.
4And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall divide from its middle, from the east even to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move north, and half of it south.
5And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with You.
6And it will be in that day, there shall not be light; the holy ones will shrink.
7And it will be one day which shall be known to Jehovah; not day and not night, but it will be, there will be light at evening time.
8And it shall be in that day, living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter it shall be.
9And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth. In that day there shall be one Jehovah, and His name one.
10All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And it shall rise and dwell in its place, from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses.
11And they shall live in it. And there shall not again be a shutting in, but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.
12And this shall be the plague with which Jehovah will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13And it shall be in that day, a great panic of Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall each man seize the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of the surrounding nations shall be gathered, gold, and silver, and clothing, very much.
15And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and all the cattle which shall be in those camps, like this plague.
16And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations who came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths.
17And it shall be, whoever will not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, even there shall be no rain on them.
18And if the family of Egypt does not go up, and not come in, even not on them will be rain, but the plague with which Jehovah shall strike the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Booths.
19This shall be Egypt's offense, and the offense of all nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Booths.
20In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. And the pots in the house of Jehovah shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to Jehovah of Hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall not be a trader in the house of Jehovah of Hosts any more.
