Chapter 14 |
| 1 | Behold, the
day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of
thee. |
| 2 |
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and
half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city. |
| 3 | Then shall the LORD go forth,
and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
|
| 4 | And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is
before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst
thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great
valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it
toward the south. |
|
5 | And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;
for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like
as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and
the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. |
| 6 | And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor
dark: |
| 7 |
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not
day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be
light. |
| 8 |
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out
from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the
hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. |
| 9 | And the LORD
shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his
name one. |
| 10
| All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her
place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner
gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. |
| 11 |
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but
Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. |
| 12 | And this shall be the plague
wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against
Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and
their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth. |
| 13 | And it shall come to pass in that day, that
a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every
one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand
of his neighbour. |
| 14 | And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and
the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and
silver, and apparel, in great abundance. |
|
15 | And so shall be the plague
of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts
that shall be in these tents, as this plague. |
| 16 | And it shall
come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against
Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. |
|
17 | And it shall be, that
whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
|
| 18 | And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;
there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. |
|
19 | This shall be the
punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep
the feast of tabernacles. |
|
20 | In that day shall there be upon the
bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house
shall be like the bowls before the altar. |
|
21 | Yea, every pot in
Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they
that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day
there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts. |
