[verse 1] The birthun of the word of the Lord on Israel. And the Lord seide, stretch|ynge forth heuene, and founding erthe [the erthe R.] , and makynge the spirit of a man in hym, [verse 2] Lo! Y schal putte [sette R.] Jerusalem a lyntel of glotonye to alle puplis in cumpas, but and [also R.] Juda schal be in `a segyng [bisegyng R.] aȝens Jerusalem. [verse 3] And it schal be, in that dai Y schal putte [sette IRS.] Jerusalem a stoon of bir|thun to alle puplis; alle that schulen lifte it, schulen be to-drawun with kittyng doun, and alle rewmes of erthe schulen be gaderid aȝens it. [verse 4] In that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal smyte ech hors in drede, `ether leesynge of mynde [Om. R.] , and the stiere `of hym [therof R.] in woodnesse; and on the hous of Juda Y schal opene myn iȝen, and schal [Y schal R.] smyte with blyndnesse ech hors of puplis. [verse 5] And duikis [the dukes R.] of Juda schulen seie in her hertis, Be the dwellers of Jerusa|lem coumfortid to me in the Lord of oostis, the God of hem. [verse 6] In that dai Y schal putte [sette R.] the duykis of Juda as a chymnei of fier in trees, and as a broond of fier in hei; and thei schulen deuoure at the `riȝthalf and lefthalf [riȝt side and left side R.] alle puplis in cumpas. And Jerusalem [Israel GKMSU pr. m. Irael NQX.] schal be en|habitid eftsoone [eft R.] in his place, `in Jerusa|lem [Om. R.] . [verse 7] And the Lord schal saue the taber|naclis of Juda, as in bigynnyng [the bigynnyng R.] , that the

hous of Dauid `glorie not [haue not glorie R.] greetli, and the [that the R.] glorie of men dwellynge in Jerusalem be not aȝens Juda. [verse 8] In that dai the Lord schal defende the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and he that schal offende of hem, schal be in that dai as Dauid, and the hous of Dauid schal be as of [the house of R.] God, as the [an R.] aungel of the Lord in the siȝt of hym. [verse 9] And it schal be, in that dai Y schal seke for [Om. R.] to al to-breke alle folkis that comen aȝens Jerusalem. [verse 10] And Y schal helde [schede R.] out on the hous of Dauid, and on dwelleris [the dwellers IRU.] of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of preieris; and thei schulen biholde to me, whom thei `fitchiden togidere [prickeden R.] . And thei schulen biweile hym with weilyng, as on [Om. GNQU.] `the oon [Om. F.] bigetun [bigotun sone R.] ; and thei schulen so|rewe [make sorewe R.] on hym, as it [sorewe R.] is wont `for to be sorewid [to be maad R.] in the deth of the firste bigetun [bigetun sone R.] . [verse 11] In that dai greet weilyng schal be in Je|rusalem, as the weilyng of Adremon [Remon R.] in the feeld of Magedon. [verse 12] And erthe [the lond IKMQRSU.] schal weile; meynees and meynees bi hem silf; the meynees of the hous of Dauid bi hem silf, and the wymmen of hem bi hem silf; [verse 13] meynees of the hous of Nathan bi hem silf, and the wymmen of hem bi hem silf; meynees of the hous of Leuy bi hem silf, and the wymmen of hem bi hem silf; meynees of Semei bi hem silf, and the wymmen of hem bi hem silf. [verse 14] All othere meynees, meynees and meynees bi hem silf, and the [Om. R.] wymmen of hem bi hem silf.
