Zechariah 14:1-8

New Century Version

The Day of Punishment

14 The Lord’s day of judging is coming when the wealth you have taken will be divided among you.

² I will bring all the nations together to fight Jerusalem. They will capture the city and rob the houses and attack the women. Half the people will be taken away as captives, but the rest of the people won’t be taken from the city.

³ Then the Lord will go to war against those nations; he will fight as in a day of battle. ⁴ On that day he will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will split in two, forming a deep valley that runs east and west. Half the mountain will move toward the north, and half will move toward the south. ⁵ You will run through this mountain valley to the other side, just as you ran from the earthquake when Uzziah was king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with him.

⁶ On that day there will be no light, cold, or frost. ⁷ There will be no other day like it, and the Lord knows when it will come. There will be no day or night; even at evening it will still be light.

⁸ At that time fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. Half of it will flow east to the Dead Sea, and half will flow west to the Mediterranean Sea. It will flow summer and winter.
