1The 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. 2Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.12.2 trembling: or, slumber, or, poison12.2 when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem
3¶ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. 4In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 5And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.12.5 The inhabitants…: or, There is strength to me and to the inhabitants, etc
6¶ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 7The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. 8In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.12.8 feeble: or, abject: Heb. fallen
9¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 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 only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 11In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12And 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;12.12 every…: Heb. families, families 13The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;12.13 of Shimei: or, of Simeon, as LXX 14All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
耶路撒冷必蒙拯救
1以下是耶和华关于以色列的启示。
铺展穹苍、奠立大地的根基、塑造人灵魂的耶和华说： 2“看啊，我要使耶路撒冷成为令周围万民昏醉的酒杯。耶路撒冷被围困时，犹大也必受困。 3到那天，当地上的列国聚集起来攻击耶路撒冷的时候，我要使耶路撒冷成为一块沉重的石头。凡试图举起它的，必伤自己。 4到那天，我要使所有的战马惊恐，使马上的骑士癫狂。我必看顾犹大家，使列邦的马匹瞎眼。这是耶和华说的。 5那时，犹大的族长必心里说，‘耶路撒冷的居民从他们的上帝——万军之耶和华那里得到了力量。’
6“到那天，我必使犹大的族长像木柴中的火盆，像禾捆中的火把，吞噬左右四围的列邦，但耶路撒冷人必仍在原处——耶路撒冷安居。
7“耶和华必首先拯救犹大的帐篷，免得大卫家和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀超过犹大。 8到那天，耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民，使他们当中最软弱的像大卫一样刚强，使大卫家像上帝一样，像耶和华的天使一样带领他们。 9到那天，我必毁灭前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国。
10“我必将施恩和祷告的灵浇灌在大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民身上。他们必仰望我——他们所刺的那位，如丧独子一般为祂哀伤，如丧长子一般为祂痛哭。 11到那天，耶路撒冷必一片哀声，犹如米吉多平原的哈达临门的哀声。 12境内家家户户都必哀哭。大卫家的男子在一处，女子在一处；拿单家的男子在一处，女子在一处； 13利未家的男子在一处，女子在一处；示每家的男子在一处，女子在一处。 14其余各家也都哀哭，男女分开。
