Zechariah 12:1-5 (Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
1
This is a message about Israel from the Lord, the Lord who spread out the skies, created the earth, and gave life to man. He says,
2
"I will make Jerusalem like a cup of wine; the nations around her will drink and stagger like drunks. And when they besiege Jerusalem, the cities of the rest of Judah will also be besieged.
3
But when that time comes, I will make Jerusalem like a heavy stone - any nation that tries to lift it will be hurt. All the nations of the world will join forces to attack her.
4
At that time I will terrify all their horses and make all their riders go crazy. I will watch over the people of Judah, but I will make the horses of their enemies blind.
5
Then the clans of Judah will say to themselves, "The Lord God Almighty gives strength to his people who live in Jerusalem.'
