3 And then[a] on that day I will make Jerusalem a stone weight[b] for all the peoples. All those lifting it up will grievously hurt themselves, and all the nations of the earth will assemble against it. 4 On that day,’ declares[c] Yahweh, ‘I will strike every horse with confusion, and the one riding it with madness; but over the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open,[d] and I will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves,[e] “The inhabitants of Jerusalem are a strength to us,[f] through Yahweh of hosts, their God.”
