stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and
formeth the spirit of man within him.

about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against
Jerusalem. |

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:
all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the
people of the earth be gathered together against it. |

In that day, saith the
LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with
madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite
every horse of the people with blindness. |
 (12:4) "I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with
madness: and I ... will smite every horse of the people with blindness."

Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire
among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour
all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem
shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. |
 (12:6)
"I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire
... and they shall devour all the people round about."

that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of

nations that come against Jerusalem. |

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look
upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one
mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that
is in bitterness for his firstborn. |

David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart,
and their wives apart; |

The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family
of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; |
