Zechariah 12:10-14
English Standard Version
Him Whom They Have Pierced
10 “And (A)I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and (B)pleas for mercy, so that, (C)when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, (D)they shall mourn for him, (E)as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 (F)On that day (G)the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great (H)as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land shall mourn, (I)each family[a] by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of (J)Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of (K)the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.

Zechariah 12:10-14
International Standard Version
10 I will pour out on the house of David and on the residents of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and of supplications, and they will look to me—the one whom they pierced.’”[a]
Mourning in Jerusalem
Then they will mourn for him, as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him, as for a firstborn son. 11 At that time,[b] Jerusalem will mourn deeply, like the mourning about Hadad-rimmon[c] that took place in the plain of Megiddo. 12 And so the land will mourn, families by families, alone by themselves—the family of the house of David by itself with their wives by themselves, the family of the house of Nathan by itself with their wives by themselves, 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself with their wives by themselves, the family of Shimei by itself with their wives by themselves— 14 all of the surviving families by themselves, along with their wives by themselves.
