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.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings ^(A)the God of heaven will set up ^(B)a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. ^(C)It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and ^(D)it shall stand forever, ⁴⁵ just as ^(E)you saw that ^(F)a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that ^(G)it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A ^(H)great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

² “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem ^(A)a cup of staggering to ^(B)all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem ^(C)will also be against Judah. ^3 (D)On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. ^(E)All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And ^(F)all the nations of the earth will gather against it. ^4 (G)On that day, declares the Lord, ^(H)I will strike every horse ^(I)with panic, and its rider ^(J)with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples ^(K)with blindness.

³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became ^(A)like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that ^(B)not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became ^(C)a great mountain ^(D)and filled the whole earth.

² And ^(A)the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the Lord's land ^(B)as male and female slaves.^{[a] (C)}They will take captive those who were their captors, ^(D)and rule over those who oppressed them.

^26 (A)The one who conquers and who keeps my works ^(B)until the end, ^(C)to him I will give authority over the nations, ²⁷ and ^(D)he will ^(E)rule^[a] them with a rod of iron, ^(F)as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.

²⁷ But ^(A)as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and ^(B)slaughter them before me.’”
