| 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. |
