12:1 The burden of the word of Yehovah for
Israel; saith Yehovah, that stretches out the sky, and lays the foundation
of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
12:2 Behold, I [will] make Jerusalem as trembling door-posts to all the
nations round about, and in Judea there shall be a siege against Jerusalem.
12:3 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a
trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall
utterly mock at [it], and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered
together against it.
12:4 In that day, saith Yehovah Almighty, I will smite every horse with
amazement, and his rider with madness: but I will open mine eyes upon the
house of Judah, and I will smite all the horses of the nations with
blindness.
12:5 And the catains of thousands of Judah shall say in their hearts, We
shall find for ourselves the inhabitants of Jerusalem in Yehovah Almighty
their Elohim.
12:6 In that day I will make the captains of thousands of Judah as a
firebrand among wood, and as a torch of fire in stubble; and they shall
devour on the right hand and on the left all the nations round about: and
Jerusalem shall dwell again by herself, [even] in Jerusalem.
12:7 And Yehovah shall save the tabernacles of Judah as at the beginning,
that the boast of the house of David, and the pride of the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, may not magnify themselves against Judah.
12:8 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Yehovah shall defend the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the weak one among them in that day shall be
as David, and the house of David as the house of Elohim, as the Messenger of Yehovah before them.
12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy
all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me,
because they have mocked [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as
for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn
[son].
12:11 In that day the lamentation in Jerusalem shall be very great, as the
mourning for the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain.
12:12 And the land shall lament in separate families, the family of the
house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the
house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
12:13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by
themselves; the family of Symeon by itself, and their wives by themselves;
12:14 all the families that are left, each family by itself, and their wives
by themselves. |
12:1 The burden of the word of Yehovah for
Israel, saith Yehovah, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the
foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people
round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against
Jerusalem.
12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though
all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
12:4 In that day, saith Yehovah, I will smite every horse with
astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the
house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of
Jerusalem shall be my strength in Yehovah of hosts their Elohim.
12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire
among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour
all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem
shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
12:7 Yehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of
the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not
magnify themselves against Judah.
12:8 In that day shall Yehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he
that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of
David shall be as Elohim, as the Messenger of Yehovah before them.
12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all
the nations that come against Jerusalem.
12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look
upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one
mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that
is in bitterness for his firstborn.
12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the
mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house
of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan
apart, and their wives apart;
12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the
family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives
apart. |
