Gloria de la Jerusalén futura (12—14)
Jerusalén liberada
12 Profecía:
Esta es la palabra —oráculo del Señor— que dirige a Israel el Señor que desplegó los cielos, cimentó la tierra y creó el espíritu humano:
2 — Voy a convertir a Jerusalén en copa embriagadora para todas las naciones de su entorno; y lo mismo sucederá con todo Judá cuando Jerusalén sea sitiada.
3 Aquel día convertiré a Jerusalén en una piedra que ninguna nación podrá levantar; cualquiera que intente levantarla quedará destrozado. Todas las naciones de la tierra se aliarán contra ella.
4 Aquel día —oráculo del Señor— haré que se desboquen los caballos y se vuelvan locos sus jinetes. Mantendré abiertos los ojos sobre los habitantes de Judá, pero a los caballos de las naciones los dejaré ciegos 5 Pensarán entonces los clanes de Judá: “En el Señor, Dios del universo, está la fuerza de los habitantes de Jerusalén”.
6 Aquel día convertiré a los clanes de Judá en montón ardiente de leña, en tea encendida entre gavillas de mies; a derecha e izquierda devorarán a todas las naciones de su entorno, mientras Jerusalén volverá a ser habitada donde siempre. 7 Pero el Señor salvará en primer lugar a las gentes de Judá para que ni la descendencia de David ni los moradores de Jerusalén se envalentonen a costa de Judá.
8 Aquel día protegerá el Señor a los habitantes de Jerusalén: el más débil entre ellos se sentirá fuerte como David, y la dinastía de David será para ellos como Dios, como un ángel del Señor al frente de ellos.
9 Aquel día exterminaré a todas las naciones que intenten atacar a Jerusalén; 10 derramaré, en cambio, sobre la dinastía de David y los habitantes de Jerusalén un espíritu de gracia y de oración. Dirigirán sus miradas hacia mí, a quien traspasaron, harán duelo como se hace por un hijo único y llorarán amargamente como se llora a un primogénito.
11 Aquel día el duelo en Jerusalén será tan grande como el de Hadad-Rimón en la llanura de Meguido. 12 Todo el país hará duelo, familia por familia: los descendientes de David y de Natán, y también sus mujeres; 13 los descendientes de Leví y de Simeí, y también sus mujeres; 14 y todos los demás clanes, cada uno por su parte, con sus respectivas mujeres.

Judah’s Security
12 An Oracle
The word of the Lord concerning Israel.
A declaration of the Lord,
who stretched out the heavens,(A)
laid the foundation of the earth,(B)
and formed the spirit of man within him.
2 “Look, I will make Jerusalem a cup that causes staggering(C) for the peoples who surround the city. The siege against Jerusalem will also involve Judah. 3 On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who try to lift it will injure themselves severely when all the nations of the earth gather against her.(D) 4 On that day”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness.(E) I will keep a watchful eye on(F) the house of Judah but strike all the horses of the nations with blindness. 5 Then each of the leaders of Judah will think to himself: The residents of Jerusalem are my strength through the Lord of Hosts, their God. 6 On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and the left, while Jerusalem continues to be inhabited on its site, in Jerusalem. 7 The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of David’s house and the glory of Jerusalem’s residents may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that on that day the one who is weakest among them will be like David on that day, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord, before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Mourning for the Pierced One
10 “Then I will pour out a spirit[a](G) of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at[b] Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn.(H) 11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, every family by itself: the family of David’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Nathan’s[c](I) house by itself and their women by themselves; 13 the family of Levi’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Shimei[d](J) by itself and their women by themselves; 14 all the remaining families, every family by itself, and their women by themselves.

New King James Version
The Coming Deliverance of Judah
12 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, (A)who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and (B)forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem (C)a cup of [b]drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 (D)And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem (E)a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day,” says the Lord, (F)“I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’ 6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah (G)like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.
7 “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to (H)destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Mourning for the Pierced One
10 (I)“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will (J)look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him (K)as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great (L)mourning in Jerusalem, (M)like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of [c]Megiddo. 12 (N)And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (O)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
