Zechariah 12:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 “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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 And on that day I will (I)seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blazing pot on a pile of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves, and they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem.(A)
7 And the Lord will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be exalted over that of Judah.(B) 8 On that day the Lord will shield the inhabitants of Jerusalem so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the Lord, at their head.(C) 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.(D)
