The Lord Comes and Reigns

14 A day of the Lord(A) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(B) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

I will gather all the nations(C) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(D) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(E) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(F) Then the Lord will go out and fight(G) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(H) On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(I) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(J) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a](K) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(L) and all the holy ones with him.(M)

On that day there will be neither sunlight(N) nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique(O) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(P) When evening comes, there will be light.(Q)

On that day living water(R) will flow(S) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(T) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(U)

The Lord will be king(V) over the whole earth.(W) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(X)

10 The whole land, from Geba(Y) to Rimmon,(Z) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(AA) high from the Benjamin Gate(AB) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(AC) and from the Tower of Hananel(AD) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(AE) 11 It will be inhabited;(AF) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(AG)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(AH) all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.(AI) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(AJ) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(AK) 14 Judah(AL) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(AM)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(AN) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(AO) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(AP) the King,(AQ) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AR) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(AS) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(AT) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague(AU) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AV) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AW)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(AX) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(AY) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(AZ) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(BA) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(BB) there will no longer be a Canaanite[c](BC) in the house(BD) of the Lord Almighty.(BE)

Reino universal de Dios

14 Viene el día del Señor(A) en el cual serán repartidos tus despojos en medio de ti(B). Porque Yo reuniré a todas las naciones en batalla contra Jerusalén; y será tomada la ciudad(C) y serán saqueadas las casas y violadas las mujeres(D). La mitad de la ciudad será desterrada, pero el resto del pueblo no será cortado de la ciudad. Entonces saldrá el Señor y peleará contra aquellas naciones(E), como cuando Él peleó el día de la batalla. Sus pies se posarán aquel día en el monte de los Olivos, que está frente a Jerusalén, al oriente(F); y el monte de los Olivos se hendirá por el medio, de oriente a occidente(G), formando un enorme valle, y una mitad del monte se apartará hacia el norte y la otra mitad hacia el sur. Ustedes huirán al valle de Mis montes, porque el valle de los montes llegará hasta Azal. Huirán tal como huyeron a causa del terremoto en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá(H). Entonces vendrá el Señor mi Dios, y todos los santos con Él(I). Y sucederá que en aquel día no habrá luz; las luminarias se oscurecerán(J). Será un día único, conocido solo del Señor(K), ni día ni noche(L); y sucederá que a la hora de la tarde habrá luz(M). En aquel día brotarán aguas vivas de Jerusalén, una mitad hacia el mar oriental y la otra mitad hacia el mar occidental, será lo mismo en verano que en invierno(N).

El Señor será Rey sobre toda la tierra(O). En aquel día el Señor será uno, y uno Su nombre(P). 10 Toda la tierra se volverá como una llanura desde Geba(Q) hasta Rimón(R), al sur de Jerusalén(S). Pero esta se levantará y será habitada en su lugar(T) desde la puerta de Benjamín(U) hasta el lugar de la puerta Primera, hasta la puerta del Ángulo(V), y desde la torre de Hananeel hasta los lagares del rey(W). 11 Y habitarán en ella y no habrá más maldición(X); y Jerusalén habitará en seguridad(Y).

12 Esta será la plaga con que el Señor herirá a todos los pueblos que han hecho guerra contra Jerusalén: se pudrirá su carne estando ellos aún de pie, y se pudrirán sus ojos en sus cuencas, y su lengua se pudrirá en su boca(Z). 13 Y sucederá que en aquel día habrá entre ellos un gran pánico del Señor; y cada uno agarrará la mano de su prójimo(AA), y la mano de uno se levantará contra la mano de su prójimo. 14 También Judá peleará en Jerusalén(AB); y se amontonarán las riquezas de todas las naciones circunvecinas: oro, plata y vestidos en gran abundancia(AC). 15 Como aquella plaga(AD) así será la plaga del caballo, del mulo, del camello, del asno y de todos los animales que haya en aquellos campamentos.

16 Y sucederá que todo sobreviviente de todas las naciones que fueron contra Jerusalén subirán de año en año para adorar al Rey(AE), Señor de los ejércitos, y para celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos[a](AF). 17 Y sucederá que los de las familias de la tierra que no suban a Jerusalén para adorar al Rey, Señor de los ejércitos(AG), no recibirán lluvia sobre ellos(AH). 18 Y si la familia de Egipto no sube ni viene, entonces sobre ellos no habrá lluvia; será la plaga con la cual el Señor herirá a las naciones(AI) que no suban a celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos. 19 Este será el castigo de Egipto y el castigo de todas las naciones que no suban a celebrar la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos.

20 En aquel día estará grabado en los cascabeles de los caballos: «Santidad al Señor(AJ)». Y serán las ollas en la casa del Señor como los tazones delante del altar(AK). 21 Toda olla en Jerusalén y en Judá será consagrada al Señor de los ejércitos. Todos los que ofrezcan sacrificios vendrán y tomarán de ellas y en ellas cocerán(AL). Y no habrá más mercader(AM) en la casa del Señor de los ejércitos en aquel día.

Yahweh Will Battle the Nations

14 Behold, a (A)day is coming for Yahweh when (B)the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. Indeed, I will (C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the (D)houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city will go forth in exile, but those left of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then Yahweh will go forth and (E)fight against those nations, as the day when He fights on a day of battle. And in that day His feet will (F)stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be (G)split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; indeed, you will flee just as you fled before the (H)earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. (I)Then Yahweh, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with [a]Him!

And it will be in that day, that there will be (J)no light; the [b]luminaries will dwindle. And it will be (K)a [c]unique day which is (L)known to Yahweh, neither day nor night, but it will be that at (M)evening time there will be light.

And it will be in that day, (N)that living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

Yahweh Will Be King over All

And Yahweh will be (O)king over all the earth; in that day Yahweh will be the only (P)one, and His name one.

10 All the land will be changed into a plain from (Q)Geba to (R)Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but [d]Jerusalem will (S)rise and (T)inhabit its site from (U)Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the (V)Corner Gate, and from the (W)Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 And [e]people will inhabit it, and there will (X)no longer be anything devoted to destruction, for Jerusalem will (Y)be inhabited in security.

12 Now this will be the plague with which Yahweh will plague all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will (Z)rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13 And it will be in that day, that abundant confusion from Yahweh will [f]fall on them; and they will (AA)take hold of one another’s hand, and the hand of one will [g]go up against the hand of another. 14 (AB)And Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the (AC)wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15 And in the same way, (AD)the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey, and all the cattle that will be in those camps will be like this plague.

16 Then it will be that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will (AE)go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, and to celebrate the (AF)Feast of Booths. 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the (AG)King, Yahweh of hosts, there will be (AH)no rain on them. 18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the (AI)plague with which Yahweh plagues the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19 This will be the [h]punishment of Egypt, and the [i]punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

20 In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “(AJ)Holy to Yahweh.” And the (AK)pots in the house of Yahweh will be like the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be (AL)holy to Yahweh of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a [j](AM)Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of hosts in that day.

The Day of the Lord

14 A day of the Lord is coming when your spoil will be divided in your midst.

For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured and the houses plundered and the women ravished. Half of the city will go to exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight those nations as He fights in the day of war. On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is to the east of Jerusalem. And from east to west the Mount of Olives will be split in two halves by a very great valley so that one half moves to the north and the other to the south. And you will flee to my mountain valley, for the mountain valley will reach to Azal. You will flee just like you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all His holy ones with you.

And on that day there will be no light. The lights will diminish. And there will be one day known to the Lord, neither during the day nor the night, but at the evening time there will be light.

On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the Dead Sea and the other half to the Mediterranean Sea. This will happen for the summer as well as the winter.

And the Lord will be king over all the earth. In that day it will be—“The Lord is one,” and His name is one.

10 All the land will be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon to the south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will rise and dwell in her place from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the Old Gate, to the Corner Gate, and then from the Tower of Hananel to the winepress of the king. 11 And people will live there, and she will never again be devoted for destruction. Jerusalem will reside in security.

12 And this will be the pestilence with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who go to battle against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot as they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 Then on that day a great tumult from the Lord will come on them as each person will seize the hand of his neighbor, and the hand of one will be raised against the hand of another. 14 And even Judah will fight with Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, a great abundance of gold, silver, and garments. 15 So this plague will come to horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and any other animals that are in the camp. So will this plague be.

16 Then it will be that all the nations who have come against Jerusalem and survived will go up each year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 And it will happen that if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, then there will not be rain for them. 18 If the family of Egypt does not go up and enter in, they shall have no rain. This will be the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

20 On that day “HOLY TO THE LORD” will be engraved on the bells of the horses. And the pots in the house of the Lord will be as the basins before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord of Hosts so that all who come to sacrifice will take from those pots and boil the meat in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of Hosts.

14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
