Chapter 12. The burden of the word of the Lord Against Israel Thus says the Lord who stretches out the Heavens lays the foundation of the earth And forms the spirit of man within him Behold I will make Jerusalem a cup of Drunkenness to all the surrounding Peoples when they lay Siege against Judah and Jerusalem And it shall happen in that day that I Will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone For All Peoples All who would heave it away will surely Be cut in pieces though all nations of The Earth are gathered against it In that day says the Lord I will strike every horse with confusion And its Rider with Madness I will open my eyes on the house of Judah and will strike every horse of the Peoples with blindness And the governors of Judah shall say in Their heart The inhabitants of Jerusalem Are My Strength In The Lord of hosts their God In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a fire pan in the wood pile And like a fiery torch in the sheaves They shall devour all the surrounding Peoples on the right hand and on the Left But Jerusalem shall be inhabited again
In her own place Jerusalem The Lord will save the tents of Judah First So that the glory of the House of David And the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than That of Judah In that day the Lord will defend the Inhabitants of Jerusalem The one who is feeble among them in that Day shall be like David And the House of David shall be like God Like the angel of the Lord before them It shall be in that day that I will seek To destroy all the nations that come Against Jerusalem And I will pour on the House of David And on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and supplication Then they will look on me whom they Pierced Yes they will mourn for him as One Mourns for his only son And grieve for him as one Grieves for a Firstborn In that day there shall be a great Morning in Jerusalem like the morning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of megiddo And the land shall mourn every family by Itself The family of the House of David by Itself and their wives by themselves The family of the House of Nathan by Itself and their wives by themselves
The family of the House of Levi by Itself and their wives by themselves The family of shimiai by itself and Their wives by themselves All the families that remain every Family by itself and their wives by Themselves
