Zechariah 12:1-3

Jerusalem to Be Attacked
12 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
Thus declares the Lord who (A)stretches out the heavens, (B)lays the foundation of the earth, and (C)forms the spirit of man within him, 2 “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a (D)cup [b]that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against (E)Judah. 3 It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy (F)stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be (G)severely [c]injured. And all the (H)nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes
14 Behold, a (A)day is coming for the Lord when (B)the spoil 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 captured, the (D)houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

Micah 4:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 “And now (A)many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be polluted,
And let our eyes [a]gloat over Zion.’
12 “But they do not (B)know the thoughts of the Lord,
And they do not understand His purpose;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Arise and (C)thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may (D)pulverize many peoples,
That you may (E)devote to the Lord their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
