ZachaYahu (Zachariah) — 12
Future Deliverance for Yahushalam
1 This message concerning the fate of Yashar'AL came from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH: “who stretched out the Shamaym and laid the foundations of the Arath, and formed the ruach of men.
2 I will make Yahushalam like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Yahushalam and Yahudah.
3 On that day I will make Yahushalam an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves.
4 “On that day,” says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, “I will cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over the people of Yahudah, but I will blind all the horses of their enemies.
5 And the clans of Yahudah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Yahushalam have found strength in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut, their 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.’
6 “On that day I will make the clans of Yahudah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighboring nations right and left, while the people living in Yahushalam remain secure.
7 “For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will give victory to the rest of Yahudah first, before Yahushalam, so that the people of Yahushalam and the royal line of Daud will not have greater honor than the rest of Yahudah.
8 On that day 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will defend the people of Yahushalam; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King Daud! And the royal descendants of Daud will have the power of their 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, like the Malak of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who goes before them!
9 For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Yahushalam.
10 “Then I will pour out a Ruach of favor and prayer on the family of Daud and on the people of Yahushalam. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died.
11 The sorrow and mourning in Yahushalam on that day will be like the great mourning for Hadad-rimmun in the valley of Magiddu.
12 “All Yashar'AL will mourn, each clan by itself, and with the husbands separate from their wives. The clan of Daud will mourn alone, as will the clan of Nathan,
13 the clan of Lauy, and the clan of Shimai.
14 Each of the surviving clans from Yahudah will mourn separately, and with the husbands separate from their wives.
