16 Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will (A)go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the (B)Feast of Booths. 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the (C)King, the Lord of hosts, there will be (D)no rain on them. 18 If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the (E)plague with which the Lord smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19 This will be the [a]punishment of Egypt, and the [b]punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

20 In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “(F)HOLY TO THE LORD.” And the (G)cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be (H)holy to the Lord of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a [c](I)Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
