Zechariah 14
Names of God Bible
The Lord Will Fight the Nations
14 A day is going to come for Yahweh when the loot you have taken will be divided among you. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people in the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people won’t be taken from the city.
3 Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations as he does when he fights a battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will be split in two, forming a very large valley from east to west. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half will move toward the south. 5 Then you will flee to the valley of my mountains, because this valley between the mountains will go as far as Azel.[a] You will flee as you did from the earthquake at the time of King Uzziah of Judah. Yahweh my Elohim will come, and all the holy ones will be with him.
6 On that day there will be neither heat nor freezing cold.[b] 7 There will be one day—a day known to Yahweh—with no difference between day and night. It will be light even in the evening.
Living Water from Jerusalem
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean Sea. It will continue in summer and in winter.
9 Yahweh will be Melek over all the earth. On that day Yahweh will be the only Lord and his name the only name.
10 The whole earth will become like the plains from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site, from Benjamin Gate to the place of First Gate, Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11 People will live there, and it will never be threatened with destruction. Jerusalem will live securely.
12 This will be the plague Yahweh will use to strike all the people from the nations that have gone to war against Jerusalem. Their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 On that day a large-scale panic from Yahweh will spread among them. One person will grab the hand of another, and one will attack the other. 14 Judah will also fight in Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected, a very large amount of gold, silver, and clothes. 15 A similar plague will also affect horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals in those camps.
16 Everyone who is left from all the nations that attacked Jerusalem will come every year to worship the Melek, Yahweh Tsebaoth, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths. 17 If any of the families on the earth won’t go to Jerusalem to worship the Melek, Yahweh Tsebaoth, then rain won’t fall on them. 18 If the people of Egypt won’t go or enter Jerusalem, then rain won’t fall on them. The plague Yahweh uses to strike the nations will affect those who won’t come to celebrate the Festival of Booths. 19 This will be the punishment for Egypt’s sin and for the sin of all the nations that won’t go to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
20 On that day “Holy to Yahweh” will be written on the bells of the horses. And the cooking pots in the house of Yahweh will be like the bowls in front of the altar. 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh Tsebaoth. All who come to sacrifice will take some of them and cook in them. On that day there will no longer be any Canaanite[c] in the house of Yahweh Tsebaoth.

Revised Geneva Translation
14 Behold, the Day of the LORD comes! And your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 “For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. And the city shall be taken, and the houses spoiled, and the women defiled. And half of the city shall go into captivity. And the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.”
3 Then the LORD shall go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.
4 And His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives on that day (which is before Jerusalem on the eastern side). And the Mount of Olives shall be split in its midst, toward the East and toward the West. And there shall be a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move away toward the North, and half of the mountain toward the South.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains. For the valley of the mountains shall reach Azal. Indeed, you shall flee like you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with you.
6 And at that time, shall there be no clear light, only dark.
7 And there shall be a day (it is known to the LORD) that is neither day nor night, but at evening time it shall be light.
8 And on that day, waters of life shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the outermost sea. And they shall be both in summer and winter.
9 And the LORD shall be King over all the Earth. At that time shall there be one LORD, and His Name shall be One.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain, from Geba to Rimmon toward the South of Jerusalem. And it shall be lifted up and inhabited in its place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananiel to the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it. And there shall be no more destruction. But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And these shall be the plagues with which the LORD will strike all people who have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve away, though they stand upon their feet. And their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets. And their tongue shall dissolve in their mouth.
13 But on that day, a great tumult of the LORD shall be among them. And everyone shall take the hand of his neighbor. And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah shall also fight against Jerusalem. And the arm of all the heathen shall be gathered all around, with gold and silver and with great abundance of apparel.
15 Yet, this shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that are in these tents at this plague.
16 But it shall come to pass at that time that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
17 And whoever will not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, from all the families of the Earth, upon them shall come no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up, and does not come, it shall not rain upon them. These shall be the plagues with which the LORD will strike all the heathen who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
20 At that time, there shall be written upon the bridles of the horses, “The holiness to the LORD.” And the pots in the LORD’s House shall be like the bowls before the Altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the LORD of Hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take from them and boil in them. And from that time, there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the House of the LORD of Hosts.

King James Version
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And 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 cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye 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 thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came 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.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
