Zechariah 12:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ I am determined to wipe out every nation that attacks Jerusalem.

Mourning for the One Pierced with a Spear

^10 (A) I, the Lord, will make the descendants of David and the people of Jerusalem feel deep sorrow and pray when they see the one they pierced with a spear. They will mourn and weep for him, as parents weep over the death of their only child or their first-born. ¹¹ On that day the people of Jerusalem will mourn as much as everyone did for Hadad Rimmon^[a] on the flatlands near Megiddo.
