and the house of David will be like God, like the angel
of Yahweh before them.
012:009 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all
the nations that come against Jerusalem.
012:010 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will
look to me{After "me," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav"
(the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as
a word, but as a grammatical marker.} whom they have pierced;
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son,
and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
012:011 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
012:012 The land will 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;
012:013 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart;
the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
012:014 all the families who remain, every family apart,
and their wives apart.
013:001 "In that day there will be a spring opened to the house
of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin
and for uncleanness.
013:002 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies,
that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land,
and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause
the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
013:003 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies,
then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him,
'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;'
and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him
when he prophesies.
013:004 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be
ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they
wear a hairy mantle to deceive:
013:005 but he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground;
for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.'
013:006 One will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?'
Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house
of my friends.'
013:007 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is
close to me," says Yahweh of Armies. "Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand
against the little ones.
013:008 It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh, "two parts
in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
013:009 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them
as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested.
