Zechariah 14:1-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jerusalem Will Be Plundered

14 Listen! A day is coming for the Lord, when the plunder taken from you will be divided in your presence.

² I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be taken, the houses plundered, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

The Lord Will Be King Over All the Earth

³ Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. ⁴ On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south. ⁵ You will flee through my mountain valley, because the mountain valley will reach to Azal. Yes, you will flee, just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones will come with him.^[a]

⁶ On that day there will be no light. The light sources will freeze over.^{[b] 7} It will be a unique day—known to the Lord—neither day nor night. But at evening time there will be light.

⁸ On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the eastern sea^[c] and half of it toward the western sea.^[d] It will continue to flow in summer and in winter.
