⁸ On that day the Lord will ^(A)protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who ^[a](B)is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like ^(C)God, like the ^(D)angel of the Lord before them. ⁹ And on that day I will ^(E)seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Enemies

14 Behold, a ^(A)day is coming for the Lord when ^(B)the spoils taken from you will be divided among you. ² For I will ^(C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the ^(D)houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. ³ Then the Lord will go forth and ^(E)fight against those nations, as ^[a]when He fights on a day of battle. ⁴ On that day His feet will ^(F)stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be ^(G)split ^[b]in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south.
