1Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in your midst, 2"For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped. And half of the city shall go into exile, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city." 3And the LORD shall go out and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall split in two, from the east and to the west, and make a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5"And 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 the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with You. 6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark. 7And it will be one day which shall be known to the LORD, neither day nor night; but it shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be light. 8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them shall go toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. In summer and in winter it shall be. 9And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one LORD, and His name shall be one. 10All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And it shall be raised up and remain 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 dwell in it, and there shall never again be any more utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall dwell safely. 12And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the people who have fought against Jerusalem. Their flesh shall consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets. And their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 13And it shall be in that day that a great panic from the LORD shall be among them. And they shall each one lay hold 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 all the nations all around shall be gathered--gold, and silver, and clothing in great abundance. 15And likewise shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and of all the beasts which shall be in these camps--it shall be as this plague. 16And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17And it shall be, whoever will not come up from all the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18And if the family of Egypt that has no rain, does not come up to present themselves, this shall be the plague with which the LORD shall strike the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19This shall be Egypt's punishment, and the punishment of all the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 20In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, "HOLINESS TO THE LORD." And the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness to the LORD of hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall no longer be merchants in the house of the LORD of hosts.
