          DASV: Zechariah 14    

1 Look, a day of the LORD is coming, when the spoil taken from
you will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for war;
the city will be taken, and its houses looted, and the women
raped. Half of the city will go into captivity, and the
remainder of the people will not be exiled from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations,
as when he formerly fought on the day of battle.
4 On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
which is to the east of Jerusalem; and the Mount of Olives
will be split in two making a great valley from east to west.
Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and other
half toward the south.
5 You will flee through the valley of my mountains; for the
valley of the mountains will reach to Azel. Yes, you will flee,
like when you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah
king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the
holy ones with him.

6 On that day, there will no light, cold or frost.
7 But it will be a unique day which is known only to the LORD.
It will not be a normal day or night, but in the evening there
will be light.
8 On that day, living waters will flow out of Jerusalem,
half of it will flow toward the eastern sea, and half of
it toward the western sea. It will flow both in the summer
and winter.
9 The LORD will be King over all the earth; on that day the
LORD will be the only one, and his name the only one.

10 All the land will be turned into a plain like the Arabah,
from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem will
be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from the Benjamin
Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,
and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's wine presses.
11 People will live in it, and there will be no more curse;
for Jerusalem will be secure.
12 This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike
all the peoples who have waged war against Jerusalem: their
flesh will rot away while they are still standing on their
feet, their eyes will rot away in their sockets, and their
tongue will rot away in their mouths.

13 On that day, a great panic from the LORD will overcome them.
They will seize each other, neighbor against neighbor in
hand to hand combat.
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the
surrounding nations will be gathered together--gold, silver,
and clothing, in great abundance.
15 This type of plague will fall on the horses, mules, camels,
donkeys, and on all the animals that are in those camps.
16 Everyone who survives from all the nations that came against
Jerusalem will go up every year to worship the King, the LORD
of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
17 Whichever of all the families of the earth does not go up
to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, they
will receive no rain.
18 If the family of Egypt does not go up or come to the festival,
then on them will come the plague of the LORD that strikes
the nations that refuse to go up to celebrate the Feast of
Tabernacles.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment
of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast
of Tabernacles.

20 On that day, there will be inscribed on horses' bells, "Holy
to the LORD." The pots in the LORD's house will be like the
bowls in front of the altar.
21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the
LORD of hosts, so that everyone who sacrifices can come and
take of them, and use them to boil their sacrifices in.
On that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house
of the LORD of hosts.
