Zechariah 12:5-7

New International Version

⁵ Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong,^(A) because the Lord Almighty is their God.’

⁶ “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot^(B) in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume^(C) all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact^(D) in her place.

⁷ “The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.^(E)
