Zechariah 12:1-9

12:1

The burden
<04853>

of the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

for Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

which stretcheth
<05186> (8802)

forth the heavens
<08064>_,

and layeth the foundation
<03245> (8801)

of the earth
<0776>_,

and formeth
<03335> (8802)

the spirit
<07307>

of man
<0120>

within
<07130>

him.

12:2

Behold, I will make
<07760> (8802)

Jerusalem
<03389>

a cup
<05592>

of trembling
<07478>

unto all the people
<05971>

round about
<05439>_,

when they shall be in the siege
<04692>

both against Judah
<03063>

[and] against Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when...: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}

12:3

And in that day
<03117>

will I make
<07760> (8799)

Jerusalem
<03389>

a burdensome
<04614>

stone
<068>

for all people
<05971>_:

all that burden
<06006> (8802)

themselves with it shall be cut in pieces
<08295> (8800) <08295> (8735)_,

though all the people
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>

be gathered together
<0622> (8738)

against it.

12:4

In that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will smite
<05221> (8686)

every horse
<05483>

with astonishment
<08541>_,

and his rider
<07392> (8802)

with madness
<07697>_:

and I will open
<06491> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>

upon the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and will smite
<05221> (8686)

every horse
<05483>

of the people
<05971>

with blindness
<05788>_.

12:5

And the governors
<0441>

of Judah
<03063>

shall say
<0559> (8804)

in their heart
<03820>_,

The inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

[shall be] my strength
<0556>

in the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

their God
<0430>_.

{The inhabitants...: or, There is strength to me and to the inhabitants, etc}

12:6

In that day
<03117>

will I make
<07760> (8799)

the governors
<0441>

of Judah
<03063>

like an hearth
<03595>

of fire
<0784>

among the wood
<06086>_,

and like a torch
<03940>

of fire
<0784>

in a sheaf
<05995>_;

and they shall devour
<0398> (8804)

all the people
<05971>

round about
<05439>_,

on the right hand
<03225>

and on the left
<08040>_:

and Jerusalem
<03389>

shall be inhabited
<03427> (8804)

again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

12:7

The LORD
<03068>

also shall save
<03467> (8689)

the tents
<0168>

of Judah
<03063>

first
<07223>_,

that the glory
<08597>

of the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

and the glory
<08597>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

do not magnify
<01431> (8799)

[themselves] against Judah
<03063>_.

12:8

In that day
<03117>

shall the LORD
<03068>

defend
<01598> (8686)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and he that is feeble
<03782> (8737)

among them at that day
<03117>

shall be as David
<01732>_;

and the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

[shall be] as God
<0430>_,

as the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

them. {feeble: or, abject: Heb. fallen}

12:9

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

[that] I will seek
<01245> (8762)

to destroy
<08045> (8687)

all the nations
<01471>

that come
<0935> (8802)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_.
