ON THAT DAY

 

6 On That Day I will make the leaders of Judah

Like a Firepot in a wood pile,

Like a Flaming Torch among the Sheaves.

They will Consume Right and Left

All the Surrounding Peoples,

But Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.

7 The Lord will save the Dwellings of Judah first,

So that the Honor of the House of David

And of Jerusalem’s inhabitants

May not be greater than that of Judah.

8 On That Day the Lord

Will shield those who live in Jerusalem,

So that the feeblest among them will be like David,

And the House of David will be like God,

Like the Angel of the Lord going before them.

9 On That Day I will set out to Destroy

ALL THE NATIONS THAT ATTACK JERUSALEM.

(Zechariah 12:6-9, NIV)
