12 And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples that fight against Jerusalem: their[a] flesh will rot while they[b] are standing on their[c] feet; their[d] eyes will rot in their sockets, and their[e] tongues[f] will rot in their mouths.[g] 13 And then[h] on that day a great panic from Yahweh will fall[i] on them, and they will seize one another’s hand,[j] and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of another.[k] 14 And Judah also will fight at[l] Jerusalem. 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.

12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:

Their flesh shall [a]dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

13 It shall come to pass in that day
That (A)a great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise (B)his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
(C)And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.

15 (D)Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.
