Yahweh Will Save

12 The oracle of the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.

Thus declares Yahweh 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 ^[a]that causes reeling to all the peoples all around. Now the one in siege against Jerusalem will also be against ^(E)Judah. ³ But it will be in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a heavy ^(F)stone for all the peoples; all who heave it up will be ^(G)severely ^[b]injured. And all the ^(H)nations of the earth will be gathered against it. ⁴ In that day,” declares Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will open my eyes to watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. ⁵ Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘^[c]A strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through Yahweh of hosts, their God.’
