撒迦利亚书 9-14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
审判邻国
9 与以色列各支派一样，
世人的眼目都仰望耶和华。[a]
以下是耶和华的启示：
祂的惩罚必临到哈得拉，
临到大马士革，
2 以及与大马士革比邻的哈马。
极其聪明的泰尔和西顿也无法幸免。
3 泰尔为自己建造堡垒，
堆积的银子多如尘土，
金子多如街上的泥土。
4 然而，看啊，主必夺去她的一切，
摧毁她海上的权势，
使她被火吞噬。
5 亚实基伦见状必陷入恐惧，
迦萨见状必充满痛苦，
以革伦见状必希望破灭。
迦萨必失去君王，
亚实基伦必荒无人烟。
6 混杂的种族必占领亚实突，
我[b]必铲除非利士人的骄傲。
7 我必除去他们口中带血的肉和齿间的可憎之物。
余下的人必归属我[c]，
成为犹大的一族，
以革伦人必像耶布斯人一样归属我。
8 我必在我家四周安营，
不容敌人入侵，
再也不容外人来欺压我的子民，
因为现在我亲自看顾他们。
要来的君王
9 锡安城啊，要充满喜乐！
耶路撒冷城啊，要欢呼！
看啊，你的王到你这里来了！
祂是公义、得胜的王，
谦卑地骑着驴，
骑着一头驴驹。
10 我必铲除以法莲的战车，
铲除耶路撒冷的战马，
战弓必被折断。
祂必向列国宣告和平，
祂必统治四海之疆，
从幼发拉底河直到地极。
11 锡安啊，因为我用血跟你立了约，
我必将你中间被掳的人从无水之坑释放出来。
12 有盼望的被掳者啊，回到你们的堡垒吧。
今日我宣布，我必加倍地补偿你们。
13 我必把犹大当弓拉开，
把以法莲当箭搭上，
使锡安的众子如勇士之剑，
去攻打希腊的众子。
14 耶和华必在他们上面显现，
祂的箭如闪电射出。
主耶和华必吹响号角，
乘南方的暴风而来。
15 万军之耶和华必保护他们，
他们必用弹石消灭、征服敌人，
饮血呐喊，犹如醉酒，
像献祭用的碗盛满了血，
又像祭坛的四角淌满了血。
16 到那天，他们的上帝耶和华必拯救他们，
视他们为一群祂的子民。
他们必如王冠上的宝石闪耀在祂的土地上。
17 那将是何等的奇妙，何等的美好！
五谷必滋养少男，
新酒必滋养少女。
耶和华应许拯救以色列
10 要在春季向耶和华求雨。
祂创造雷雨，
为世人降下甘霖，
使田间长出青翠之物。
2 因为神像说的是虚言，
占卜者讲的是谎话，
他们说的是假梦，
他们的安慰是空的。
所以人们如迷失的羊，
因没有牧人而受苦。
3 “我必向牧人发怒，
我必惩罚这些首领[d]。
因为我——万军之耶和华必眷顾我的羊群犹大家，
我必使他们像战场上的骏马。
4 房角石、帐篷的橛子、战弓，
以及所有掌权者必出自犹大。
5 他们必像战场上的勇士，
将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中。
他们必争战，
因为耶和华与他们同在。
他们必使敌方的骑兵蒙羞。
6 “我必使犹大家强盛，
我必拯救约瑟家。
我必带他们回到故土，
因为我怜悯他们。
他们必好像从未被我抛弃一样，
因为我是他们的上帝耶和华，
我必应允他们的祷告。
7 以法莲人必如勇士，
他们必心里快乐，如同喝了酒，
他们的儿女见状也必快乐，
他们必因耶和华而欢心。
8 “我必吹哨聚集他们，
因为我救赎了他们，
他们必像从前一样人数众多。
9 虽然我把他们分散到列国，
他们必在远方想起我，
他们及其子女必得以幸存，
并且回到故土。
10 我必从埃及领他们回到故土，
从亚述招聚他们，
领他们到基列和黎巴嫩，
那里将不够他们居住。
11 祂必经过苦海，
击打海浪，
尼罗河必干涸，
亚述的骄傲必扫地，
埃及的势力必灭没。
12 我必让他们靠着我强盛，
他们必奉我的名行事。
这是耶和华说的。”
羊群必遭杀戮
11 黎巴嫩啊，打开你的门吧，
好让火焰吞噬你的香柏树。
2 松树啊，哀号吧，
因为香柏树已经倒下，
挺拔的树木已被毁坏。
巴珊的橡树啊，哀号吧，
因为茂密的树林已被砍倒。
3 听啊，牧人在哀号，
因为他们肥美的草场已被毁坏。
听啊，狮子在吼叫，
因为约旦河畔的丛林已被毁坏。
4 我的上帝耶和华说：“你去牧养这群待宰的羊吧。 5 买羊宰羊的不受惩罚，卖羊的说，‘耶和华当受称颂！我发财了。’它们的牧人不怜悯它们。 6 因此，我不再怜悯这地方的居民，我要使他们落在邻人及其君王手中，任这地方被摧毁，必不从敌人手中拯救他们。这是耶和华说的。”
7 于是，我牧养这群最困苦的待宰之羊。我拿了两根杖，一根叫“恩惠”，一根叫“联合”，开始牧养羊群。 8 我在一个月之内除掉了三个牧人。
然而，我厌烦羊群，他们也厌恶我。 9 于是我说：“我不再牧养你们了。要死的就死吧，要灭亡的就灭亡吧，让剩下的互相吞吃吧。” 10 然后，我拿起那根叫“恩惠”的杖，把它折断，以废除我与万民所立的约。 11 约就在当天废除了，那些注视着我的困苦羊便知道这是上帝的话。
12 我对他们说：“你们若认为好，就给我工钱，不然就算了。”于是，他们给了我三十块银子作工钱。 13 耶和华对我说：“把这一大笔钱丢给窑户吧，这就是我在他们眼中的价值！”我便把三十块银子丢给圣殿中的窑户。 14 我又把那根叫“联合”的杖折断，以断开犹大和以色列之间的手足之情。
15 耶和华又对我说：“你再拿起愚昧牧人的器具， 16 因为我要使一位牧人在地上兴起，他不照顾丧亡的，不寻找失散的，不医治受伤的，不牧养健壮的，反而吃肥羊的肉，撕掉它们的蹄子。
17 “丢弃羊群的无用牧人有祸了！
愿刀砍在他的臂膀和右眼上！
愿他的臂膀彻底枯槁，
他的右眼完全失明！”
耶路撒冷必蒙拯救
12 以下是耶和华关于以色列的启示。
铺展穹苍、奠立大地的根基、塑造人灵魂的耶和华说： 2 “看啊，我要使耶路撒冷成为令周围万民昏醉的酒杯。耶路撒冷被围困时，犹大也必受困。 3 到那天，当地上的列国聚集起来攻击耶路撒冷的时候，我要使耶路撒冷成为一块沉重的石头。凡试图举起它的，必伤自己。 4 到那天，我要使所有的战马惊恐，使马上的骑士癫狂。我必看顾犹大家，使列邦的马匹瞎眼。这是耶和华说的。 5 那时，犹大的族长必心里说，‘耶路撒冷的居民从他们的上帝——万军之耶和华那里得到了力量。’
6 “到那天，我必使犹大的族长像木柴中的火盆，像禾捆中的火把，吞噬左右四围的列邦，但耶路撒冷人必仍在原处——耶路撒冷安居。
7 “耶和华必首先拯救犹大的帐篷，免得大卫家和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀超过犹大。 8 到那天，耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民，使他们当中最软弱的像大卫一样刚强，使大卫家像上帝一样，像耶和华的天使一样带领他们。 9 到那天，我必毁灭前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国。
10 “我必将施恩和祷告的灵浇灌在大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民身上。他们必仰望我——他们所刺的那位，如丧独子一般为祂哀伤，如丧长子一般为祂痛哭。 11 到那天，耶路撒冷必一片哀声，犹如米吉多平原的哈达临门的哀声。 12 境内家家户户都必哀哭。大卫家的男子在一处，女子在一处；拿单家的男子在一处，女子在一处； 13 利未家的男子在一处，女子在一处；示每家的男子在一处，女子在一处。 14 其余各家也都哀哭，男女分开。
13 “到那天，必为大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源，洗净他们的罪恶和污秽。
2 “到那天，我必铲除地上偶像的名号，使它们被人遗忘；我必除去地上的假先知和污秽的灵。这是万军之耶和华说的。 3 若有人再说预言，他的亲生父母必对他说，‘你不得活命，因为你奉耶和华的名说谎。’他说预言的时候，他的亲生父母必把他刺死。 4 到那天，先知必因自己所讲的异象而羞愧，不再穿着毛皮衣欺骗人。 5 他必说，‘我不是先知，我是农夫，我从小便以种田为生。’ 6 若有人问他，‘你胸口上的伤是怎么回事？[e]’他必回答说，‘是在我朋友家弄伤的。’”
牧人被杀
7 万军之耶和华说：
“刀剑啊，醒来吧，
要攻击我的牧人和同伴，
要击打牧人，羊群将四散，
我必出手攻击小羊。
8 地上三分之二的人必遭铲除、毁灭，
只剩下三分之一的人存活。
这是耶和华说的。
9 我必使这三分之一的人受到火一般的考验；
我必像熬炼银子一样熬炼他们，
像试炼金子一样试炼他们。
他们必呼求我的名，
我必回应他们。
我必说，‘这是我的子民。’
他们必说，‘耶和华是我们的上帝。’”
耶和华的日子
14 看啊，耶和华的日子快到了，那时你那里的财物必被抢掠、瓜分。 2 因为我必招聚万国去攻打耶路撒冷。那时，城必失守，房屋必被洗劫，妇女必被玷污。半城的人必被掳去，剩下的人必留在城中，不会被铲除。 3 那时，耶和华必出来与列国争战，像从前争战的日子一样。 4 到那天，祂的脚必踏在耶路撒冷东面的橄榄山上，这山必从东至西分成两半，一半向北移，一半向南移，中间形成极大的山谷。 5 你们要从我的这山谷逃跑，因为山谷必延伸到亚萨。你们必像犹大王乌西雅年间的人躲避大地震一样逃跑。我的上帝耶和华必带着所有的圣者降临。 6 到那天，将没有光、严寒和冰霜。 7 那将是奇特的日子，没有昼夜之分，晚上仍然有光，只有上帝知道那日何时来临。
8 到那天，必有活水从耶路撒冷涌出，一半流向死海，一半流向地中海，冬夏不变。 9 耶和华必做普世的王。到那天，必唯祂独尊，唯祂的名独尊。 10 从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南边的临门，整个地区都要变为平原。从便雅悯门到旧门，再到角门，从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池——耶路撒冷必仍然矗立在原处。 11 城内必有人居住，不再遭毁灭的咒诅。耶路撒冷必安享太平。
12 耶和华必降瘟疫给攻打耶路撒冷的列邦，使他们活着的时候皮肉已经腐烂，眼睛在眼眶中腐烂，舌头在口中腐烂。 13 到那天，耶和华必使他们慌乱不堪，彼此揪住，互相殴打。 14 犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战，四围列国的财物——大量的金银和衣服必被收聚起来。 15 同样的瘟疫也必降在马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和营中的其他牲畜身上。
16 前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国中的幸存者，必每年上来敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华，并且守住棚节。 17 地上万族中若有人不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王——万军之耶和华，他们必没有雨水。 18 埃及人若不上来敬拜，也必没有雨水，耶和华必使他们和不上来守住棚节的列国一样遭受瘟疫。 19 这将是埃及和不上来守住棚节的列国所得的惩罚。 20 到那天，马铃上也必刻上“献给耶和华”的字样。耶和华殿内的锅必像祭坛前的碗一样圣洁。 21 耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都是万军之耶和华的圣物，来献祭的人都可以用这些锅煮祭肉。到那天，万军之耶和华的殿中必再也没有商人。

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
9 A prophecy:(A)
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus(B)—
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord—[a]
2 and on Hamath(C) too, which borders on it,
and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy(G) her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.(H)
5 Ashkelon(I) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(J) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(K)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(L)
8 But I will encamp(M) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(N)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(O)
The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(P)
Shout,(Q) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(R)
righteous and victorious,(S)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(T)
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(U)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.(V)
He will proclaim peace(W) to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.(X)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(Y) with you,
I will free your prisoners(Z) from the waterless pit.(AA)
12 Return to your fortress,(AB) you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice(AC) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(AD)
and fill it with Ephraim.(AE)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(AF)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(AG)
The Lord Will Appear
14 Then the Lord will appear over them;(AH)
his arrow will flash like lightning.(AI)
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;(AJ)
he will march in the storms(AK) of the south,
15 and the Lord Almighty will shield(AL) them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.(AM)
They will drink and roar as with wine;(AN)
they will be full like a bowl(AO)
used for sprinkling[c] the corners(AP) of the altar.
16 The Lord their God will save his people on that day(AQ)
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.(AR)
17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
The Lord Will Care for Judah
10 Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime;
it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms.
He gives showers of rain(AS) to all people,
and plants of the field(AT) to everyone.
2 The idols(AU) speak deceitfully,
diviners(AV) see visions that lie;
they tell dreams(AW) that are false,
they give comfort in vain.(AX)
Therefore the people wander like sheep
oppressed for lack of a shepherd.(AY)
3 “My anger burns against the shepherds,
and I will punish the leaders;(AZ)
for the Lord Almighty will care
for his flock, the people of Judah,
and make them like a proud horse in battle.(BA)
4 From Judah will come the cornerstone,(BB)
from him the tent peg,(BC)
from him the battle bow,(BD)
from him every ruler.
5 Together they[d] will be like warriors in battle
trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets.(BE)
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.(BF)
6 “I will strengthen(BG) Judah
and save the tribes of Joseph.
I will restore them
because I have compassion(BH) on them.(BI)
They will be as though
I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God
and I will answer(BJ) them.
7 The Ephraimites will become like warriors,
and their hearts will be glad as with wine.(BK)
Their children will see it and be joyful;
their hearts will rejoice(BL) in the Lord.
8 I will signal(BM) for them
and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
they will be as numerous(BN) as before.
9 Though I scatter them among the peoples,
yet in distant lands they will remember me.(BO)
They and their children will survive,
and they will return.
10 I will bring them back from Egypt
and gather them from Assyria.(BP)
I will bring them to Gilead(BQ) and Lebanon,
and there will not be room(BR) enough for them.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble;
the surging sea will be subdued
and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.(BS)
Assyria’s pride(BT) will be brought down
and Egypt’s scepter(BU) will pass away.(BV)
12 I will strengthen(BW) them in the Lord
and in his name they will live securely,(BX)”
declares the Lord.
11 Open your doors, Lebanon,(BY)
so that fire(BZ) may devour your cedars!
2 Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen;
the stately trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks(CA) of Bashan;
the dense forest(CB) has been cut down!(CC)
3 Listen to the wail of the shepherds;
their rich pastures are destroyed!
Listen to the roar of the lions;(CD)
the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!(CE)
Two Shepherds
4 This is what the Lord my God says: “Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.(CF) 5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the Lord, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them.(CG) 6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the Lord. “I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors(CH) and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.”(CI)
7 So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter,(CJ) particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. 8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested(CK) me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish.(CL) Let those who are left eat(CM) one another’s flesh.”
10 Then I took my staff called Favor(CN) and broke it, revoking(CO) the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the Lord.
12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.(CP)
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver(CQ) and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.(CR)
14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.
17 “Woe to the worthless shepherd,(CS)
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm(CT) and his right eye!
May his arm be completely withered,
his right eye totally blinded!”(CU)
Jerusalem’s Enemies to Be Destroyed
12 A prophecy:(CV) The word of the Lord concerning Israel.
The Lord, who stretches out the heavens,(CW) who lays the foundation of the earth,(CX) and who forms the human spirit within a person,(CY) declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup(CZ) that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.(DA) Judah(DB) will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations(DC) of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock(DD) for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure(DE) themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.(DF) 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong,(DG) because the Lord Almighty is their God.’
6 “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot(DH) in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume(DI) all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact(DJ) in her place.
7 “The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah.(DK) 8 On that day the Lord will shield(DL) those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest(DM) among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God,(DN) like the angel of the Lord going before(DO) them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations(DP) that attack Jerusalem.(DQ)
Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit[e](DR) of grace and supplication.(DS) They will look on[f] me, the one they have pierced,(DT) and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child,(DU) and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.(DV) 11 On that day the weeping(DW) in Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.(DX) 12 The land will mourn,(DY) each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.(DZ)
Cleansing From Sin
13 “On that day a fountain(EA) will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse(EB) them from sin and impurity.
2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols(EC) from the land, and they will be remembered no more,”(ED) declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets(EE) and the spirit of impurity from the land. 3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies(EF) in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.(EG)
4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed(EH) of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment(EI) of hair(EJ) in order to deceive.(EK) 5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.[g]’(EL) 6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[h]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 “Awake, sword,(EM) against my shepherd,(EN)
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,(EO)
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.(EP)
9 This third I will put into the fire;(EQ)
I will refine them like silver(ER)
and test them like gold.(ES)
They will call(ET) on my name(EU)
and I will answer(EV) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(EW)
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(EX)’”
The Lord Comes and Reigns
14 A day of the Lord(EY) is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions(EZ) will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.
2 I will gather all the nations(FA) to Jerusalem to fight against it;(FB) the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.(FC) Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.(FD) 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight(FE) against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.(FF) 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,(FG) east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split(FH) in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[i](FI) in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,(FJ) and all the holy ones with him.(FK)
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight(FL) nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique(FM) day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night.(FN) When evening comes, there will be light.(FO)
8 On that day living water(FP) will flow(FQ) out from Jerusalem, half of it east(FR) to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.(FS)
9 The Lord will be king(FT) over the whole earth.(FU) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(FV)
10 The whole land, from Geba(FW) to Rimmon,(FX) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(FY) high from the Benjamin Gate(FZ) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(GA) and from the Tower of Hananel(GB) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(GC) 11 It will be inhabited;(GD) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(GE)
12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(GF) 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.(GG) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(GH) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(GI) 14 Judah(GJ) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(GK)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(GL) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.
16 Then the survivors(GM) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(GN) the King,(GO) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(GP) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(GQ) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(GR) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[j] will bring on them the plague(GS) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(GT) 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.(GU)
20 On that day holy to the Lord(GV) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(GW) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(GX) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(GY) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(GZ) there will no longer be a Canaanite[k](HA) in the house(HB) of the Lord Almighty.(HC)
