12 And this shall be (A)the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war 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.

13 And (B)on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that (C)each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14 Even (D)Judah will fight at Jerusalem.[a] And (E)the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15 And (F)a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.

And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—gold and silver, and garments in great abundance.[m] 15 Like this plague[n] will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and every kind of animal in those camps.
