The Mystery of Israel's Salvation

^25 (A)Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:^{[a] (B)}a partial hardening has come upon Israel, ^(C)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^(A)be led captive among all nations, and ^(B)Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^(C)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

¹⁴ But ^(A)their minds were ^(B)hardened. For to this day, ^(C)when they read ^(D)the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. ¹⁵ Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. ¹⁶ But when ^(E)one^[a] turns to the Lord, ^(F)the veil is removed.

Doxology

^25 (A)Now to him who is able to strengthen you ^(B)according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ^(C)according to the revelation of the mystery ^(D)that was kept secret for ^(E)long ages

^16 (A)Live in harmony with one another. ^(B)Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.^{[a] (C)}Never be wise in your own sight.

²⁰ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities. ²¹ The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ^(A)‘Let us go at once ^(B)to entreat the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts; I myself am going.’ ^22 (C)Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and ^(D)to entreat the favor of the Lord. ²³ Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ^(E)ten men ^(F)from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for ^(G)we have heard that God is with you.’”

⁷ What then? ^(A)Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest ^(B)were hardened, ⁸ as it is written,

⁹ And ^(A)the Lord will be king over all the earth. ^(B)On that day the Lord will be ^(C)one and ^(D)his name one.

^10 (E)The whole land shall be turned into a plain from ^(F)Geba to ^(G)Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But ^(H)Jerusalem shall remain aloft ^(I)on its site from ^(J)the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to ^(K)the Corner Gate, and from ^(L)the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. ¹¹ And it shall be inhabited, for ^(M)there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.^{[a] (N)}Jerusalem shall dwell in security.

¹² And this shall be ^(O)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 ^(P)on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that ^(Q)each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. ¹⁴ Even ^(R)Judah will fight at Jerusalem.^[b] And ^(S)the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. ¹⁵ And ^(T)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 ^(U)shall go up year after year to worship ^(V)the King, the Lord of hosts, and ^(W)to keep ^(X)the Feast of Booths. ¹⁷ And if ^(Y)any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship ^(Z)the King, the Lord of hosts, ^(AA)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;^[c] there shall be ^(AB)the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up ^(AC)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 ^(AD)to keep the Feast of Booths.

²⁰ And ^(AE)on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, ^(AF)“Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. ²¹ And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be ^(AG)holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And ^(AH)there shall no longer be ^(AI)a trader^[d] in the house of the Lord of hosts ^(AJ)on that day.
