13 ^(A)“On that day there shall be ^(B)a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.

Idolatry Cut Off

² “And ^(C)on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, ^(D)I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that ^(E)they shall be remembered no more. And also ^(F)I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. ³ And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ^(G)‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.

⁴ “On that day ^(H)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, ⁵ but he will say, ^(I)‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’^{[a] 6} And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’^[b] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Struck

The Coming Day of the Lord

14 Behold, ^(Q)a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. ² For ^(R)I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and ^(S)the city shall be taken ^(T)and the houses plundered ^(U)and the women raped. ^(V)Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. ^3 (W)Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. ^4 (X)On that day his feet shall stand ^(Y)on ^(Z)the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and ^(AA)the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by ^(AB)a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. ⁵ And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from ^(AC)the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.^[c]

^6 (AD)On that day ^(AE)there shall be ^(AF)no light, cold, or frost.^{[d] 7 (AG)}And there shall be a unique^[e] day, ^(AH)which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but ^(AI)at evening time there shall be light.

^8 (AJ)On that day ^(AK)living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to ^(AL)the eastern sea^[f] and half of them to ^(AM)the western sea.^{[g] (AN)}It shall continue in summer as in winter.

⁹ And ^(AO)the Lord will be king over all the earth. ^(AP)On that day the Lord will be ^(AQ)one and ^(AR)his name one.

^10 (AS)The whole land shall be turned into a plain from ^(AT)Geba to ^(AU)Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But ^(AV)Jerusalem shall remain aloft ^(AW)on its site from ^(AX)the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to ^(AY)the Corner Gate, and from ^(AZ)the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. ¹¹ And it shall be inhabited, for ^(BA)there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction.^{[h] (BB)}Jerusalem shall dwell in security.

¹² And this shall be ^(BC)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 ^(BD)on that day a great panic from the Lord shall fall on them, so that ^(BE)each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. ¹⁴ Even ^(BF)Judah will fight at Jerusalem.^[i] And ^(BG)the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. ¹⁵ And ^(BH)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 ^(BI)shall go up year after year to worship ^(BJ)the King, the Lord of hosts, and ^(BK)to keep ^(BL)the Feast of Booths. ¹⁷ And if ^(BM)any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship ^(BN)the King, the Lord of hosts, ^(BO)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;^[j] there shall be ^(BP)the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up ^(BQ)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 ^(BR)to keep the Feast of Booths.

²⁰ And ^(BS)on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, ^(BT)“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 ^(BU)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 ^(BV)there shall no longer be ^(BW)a trader^[k] in the house of the Lord of hosts ^(BX)on that day.

The New Heaven and the New Earth

21 Then I saw ^(A)a new heaven and a new earth, for ^(B)the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ² And I saw ^(C)the holy city, ^(D)new Jerusalem, ^(E)coming down out of heaven from God, ^(F)prepared ^(G)as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, ^(H)the dwelling place^[a] of God is with man. He will ^(I)dwell with them, and they will be his people,^[b] and God himself will be with them as their God.^{[c] 4 (J)}He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^(K)death shall be no more, ^(L)neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

⁵ And ^(M)he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I ^(N)am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for ^(O)these words are trustworthy and true.” ⁶ And he said to me, ^(P)“It is done! ^(Q)I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. ^(R)To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. ^7 (S)The one who conquers will have this heritage, and ^(T)I will be his God and ^(U)he will be my son. ^8 (V)But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ^(W)their portion will be in ^(X)the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is ^(Y)the second death.”

The New Jerusalem

⁹ Then came ^(Z)one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of ^(AA)the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you ^(AB)the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” ¹⁰ And ^(AC)he carried me away in the Spirit to ^(AD)a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, ^11 (AE)having the glory of God, ^(AF)its radiance ^(AG)like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. ¹² It had a great, high wall, ^(AH)with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— ¹³ on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve ^(AI)foundations, and ^(AJ)on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And the one who spoke with me ^(AK)had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. ¹⁶ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.^[d] Its length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ He also measured its wall, 144 cubits^[e] by ^(AL)human measurement, which is also ^(AM)an angel's measurement. ¹⁸ The wall was built of ^(AN)jasper, while the city was pure gold, like ^(AO)clear glass. ^19 (AP)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and ^(AQ)the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

²² And ^(AR)I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. ²³ And the city ^(AS)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for ^(AT)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. ²⁴ By its light ^(AU)will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth ^(AV)will bring their glory into it, ²⁵ and ^(AW)its gates will never be shut by day—and ^(AX)there will be no night there. ²⁶ They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. ²⁷ But ^(AY)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's ^(AZ)book of life.
