Zechariah 14:9-21
English Standard Version
9 And (A)the Lord will be king over all the earth. (B)On that day the Lord will be (C)one and (D)his name one.
10 (E)The whole land shall be turned into a plain from (F)Geba to (G)Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But (H)Jerusalem shall remain aloft (I)on its site from (J)the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to (K)the Corner Gate, and from (L)the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for (M)there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.[a] (N)Jerusalem shall dwell in security.
12 And this shall be (O)the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 And (P)on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that (Q)each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14 Even (R)Judah will fight at Jerusalem.[b] And (S)the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15 And (T)a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.
16 Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem (U)shall go up year after year to worship (V)the King, the Lord of hosts, and (W)to keep (X)the Feast of Booths. 17 And if (Y)any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship (Z)the King, the Lord of hosts, (AA)there will be no rain on them. 18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain;[c] there shall be (AB)the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up (AC)to keep the Feast of Booths. 19 This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up (AD)to keep the Feast of Booths.
20 And (AE)on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, (AF)“Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be (AG)holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And (AH)there shall no longer be (AI)a trader[d] in the house of the Lord of hosts (AJ)on that day.

The Mountain of the Lord
2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 (A)It shall come to pass in the latter days
that (B)the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and (C)all the nations shall flow to it,
3 and (D)many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For (E)out of Zion shall go forth the law,[a]
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
(F)and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
(G)nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
5 O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in (H)the light of the Lord.
The Day of the Lord
6 For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things (I)from the east
and (J)of fortune-tellers (K)like the Philistines,
and they (L)strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land is (M)filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is (N)filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is (O)filled with idols;
they bow down to (P)the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.

The Future Glory of Israel
60 (A)Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and (B)the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen upon you.
3 (C)And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 (D)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
they all gather together, they come to you;
(E)your sons shall come from afar,
and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
5 Then you shall see and (F)be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and exult,[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
(G)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of (H)Midian and (I)Ephah;
all those from (J)Sheba shall come.
(K)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of (L)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
the rams of (M)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
(N)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
(O)and I will beautify my beautiful house.
8 Who are these that fly like a cloud,
and (P)like doves to their windows?
9 For (Q)the coastlands shall hope for me,
(R)the ships of Tarshish first,
(S)to bring your children from afar,
their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because (T)he has made you beautiful.
10 (U)Foreigners shall build up your walls,
and (V)their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 (W)Your gates shall be open continually;
day and night they shall not be shut,
(X)that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
with their kings led in procession.
12 (Y)For the nation and kingdom
that will not serve you shall perish;
those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13 (Z)The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
the cypress, the plane, and (AA)the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 (AB)The sons of those who afflicted you
shall come bending low to you,
(AC)and all who despised you
shall bow down at your feet;
(AD)they shall call you the City of the Lord,
the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 (AE)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one passing through,
(AF)I will make you majestic forever,
a joy from age to age.
16 (AG)You shall suck the milk of nations;
you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that (AH)I, the Lord, am your Savior
and your Redeemer, (AI)the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
(AJ)and your taskmasters righteousness.
18 (AK)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
(AL)you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
19 (AM)The sun shall be no more
your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
give you light;[b]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.[c]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and (AN)your days of mourning shall be ended.
21 (AO)Your people shall all be righteous;
(AP)they shall possess the land forever,
(AQ)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I might be glorified.[d]
22 (AR)The least one shall become a clan,
and the smallest one a mighty nation;
(AS)I am the Lord;
in its time I will hasten it.
