“On that day I will make the [a]clans of Judah like a (A)firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while [b]the (B)inhabitants of Jerusalem again live on their own sites in Jerusalem. The Lord also will (C)save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of (D)David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be greater than Judah. On that day the Lord will (E)protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who [c](F)is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like (G)God, like the (H)angel of the Lord before them. And on that day I will (I)seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in [a]their own place, even in Jerusalem. Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah. In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he [b]that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
