On that day living water shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of it to the eastern sea and half of it to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter.(A)

And the Lord will become king over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be one and his name one.(B)

10 The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem[a] shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.(C) 11 And it shall be inhabited, for never again shall it be doomed to destruction; Jerusalem shall abide in security.(D)

12 This shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot while they are still on their feet, their eyes shall rot in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths.(E) 13 On that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of a neighbor, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other;(F) 14 even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected: gold, silver, and garments in great abundance.(G) 15 And a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever animals may be in those camps.(H)

16 Then all who survive of the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Festival of Booths.[b](I) 17 If any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain upon them.(J) 18 And if the family of Egypt do not go up and present themselves, there will be no rain for them; there will be the plague that the Lord inflicts on the nations that do not go up to keep the Festival of Booths.[c](K) 19 Such shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to keep the Festival of Booths.[d](L)

On that day living water(A) will flow(B) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(C) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(D)

The Lord will be king(E) over the whole earth.(F) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(G)

10 The whole land, from Geba(H) to Rimmon,(I) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(J) high from the Benjamin Gate(K) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(L) and from the Tower of Hananel(M) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(N) 11 It will be inhabited;(O) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(P)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(Q) all the nations that fought 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.(R) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(S) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(T) 14 Judah(U) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(V)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(W) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(X) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(Y) the King,(Z) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AA) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(AB) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(AC) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[a] will bring on them the plague(AD) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AE) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AF)
