Zechariah 12:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 “On that day I will make the [a]clans of Judah like a (A)firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while [b]the (B)inhabitants of Jerusalem again live on their own sites in Jerusalem. 7 The Lord also will (C)save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of (D)David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be greater than Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will (E)protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who [c](F)is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like (G)God, like the (H)angel of the Lord before them. 9 And on that day I will (I)seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12:6-9
Common English Bible
6 On that day I will place the chieftains of Judah like a pot on a wood fire and like a burning torch among the bundles of grain.
They will devour all the surrounding nations to the right and the left.
Jerusalem will dwell again in its place, in Jerusalem.
7 The Lord will first deliver the tents of Judah so that the splendor of David’s house
and the splendor of Jerusalem’s inhabitants won’t overshadow Judah.
8 On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Anyone among them who stumbles on that day will become like David,
and David’s house will become like God,
like the Lord’s messenger in front of them.
9 On that day I intend to destroy all the nations who come against Jerusalem,
