In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah. In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them. It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

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. 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. And on that day I will (I)seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
