¹² And this shall be ^(A)the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

¹³ And ^(B)on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that ^(C)each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. ¹⁴ Even ^(D)Judah will fight at Jerusalem.^[a] And ^(E)the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. ¹⁵ And ^(F)a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.

¹⁶ Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem ^(G)shall go up year after year to worship ^(H)the King, the Lord of hosts, and ^(I)to keep ^(J)the Feast of Booths. ¹⁷ And if ^(K)any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship ^(L)the King, the Lord of hosts, ^(M)there will be no rain on them. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain;^[b] there shall be ^(N)the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up ^(O)to keep the Feast of Booths. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up ^(P)to keep the Feast of Booths.

^12 (A)When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ^(B)he^[a] will punish the speech^[b] of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.

^18 (A)to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,^[a] both small and great.” ¹⁹ And I saw ^(B)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies ^(C)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it ^(D)the false prophet ^(E)who in its presence^[b] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^(F)worshiped its image. These two were ^(G)thrown alive into the lake of ^(H)fire that burns with sulfur. ²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword ^(I)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^(J)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

⁹ And ^(A)the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, ^(B)will weep and wail over her ^(C)when they see the smoke of her burning.

¹⁴ They ^(A)will make war on the Lamb, and ^(B)the Lamb will conquer them, for he is ^(C)Lord of lords and ^(D)King of kings, and those with him are ^(E)called and chosen and faithful.”

^14 (A)The sky vanished ^(B)like a scroll that is being rolled up, and ^(C)every mountain and island was removed from its place. ¹⁵ Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave^[a] and free, ^(D)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, ^16 (E)calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of ^(F)him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ for ^(G)the great day of their wrath has come, and ^(H)who can stand?”
