CHAP. XII.

1 THe burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2 Behold, I will make Ierusalem a cup of trem∣bling unto all the people round about when they shall be in the siege both against Iudah, and against Jeru∣salem.

3 And in that day will I make Ierusalem a bur∣densome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it, shall be cut in piece, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

4 In that day, saith the

Page 556

Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with mad∣ness, and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Iu∣dah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindnesse.

5 And the governours of Iudah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Ierusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.

6 In that day will I make the governours of Iu∣dah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of a fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand, and on the left: and Ierusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Ierusa∣lem.

7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Iudah first, that the glory of the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Ierusalem, do not magnifie themselve against Iudah.

8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabi∣tants of Ierusalem, and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of Da∣vid shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

9 And it shall come to passe in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem.

10 And I will pour upon the house David, and upon the inhabitants of Ierusa∣lem 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 onely son, and shall be in bitternesse for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourn∣ing of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

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.

13 The family of the house of Levi apart and their wives apart; the fa∣mily of Shimei apart, and their wives apart.

14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives a∣part.
