¹⁷ “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,^(I) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,^(J) rats^(K) and other unclean things—they will meet their end^(L) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

¹⁸ “And I, because of what they have planned and done,^(M) am about to come^[a] and gather the people of all nations^(N) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.^(O)

¹⁹ “I will set a sign^(P) among them, and I will send some of those who survive^(Q) to the nations—to Tarshish,^(R) to the Libyans^[b] and Lydians^(S) (famous as archers), to Tubal^(T) and Greece,^(U) and to the distant islands^(V) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.^(W) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they will bring^(X) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain^(Y) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”^(Z) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.^{(AA) 21} And I will select some of them also to be priests^(AB) and Levites,” says the Lord.

The Lord Will Appear

The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord^(A) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions^(B) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

² I will gather all the nations^(C) to Jerusalem to fight against it;^(D) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.^(E) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.^{(F) 3} Then the Lord will go out and fight^(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.^(H)
