And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from (F)the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.[a]

(G)On that day (H)there shall be (I)no light, cold, or frost.[b] (J)And there shall be a unique[c] day, (K)which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but (L)at evening time there shall be light.

(M)On that day (N)living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to (O)the eastern sea[d] and half of them to (P)the western sea.[e] (Q)It shall continue in summer as in winter.

And (R)the Lord will be king over all the earth. (S)On that day the Lord will be (T)one and (U)his name one.

10 (V)The whole land shall be turned into a plain from (W)Geba to (X)Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But (Y)Jerusalem shall remain aloft (Z)on its site from (AA)the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to (AB)the Corner Gate, and from (AC)the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for (AD)there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.[f] (AE)Jerusalem shall dwell in security.
