Zechariah, starting at chapter 13
{13:1} "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. {13:2} 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. {13:3} 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. {13:4} 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: {13:5}
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.' {13:6} 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.'

{13:7} "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.
{13:8} 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.
{13:9} 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.
They will call on my name, and I will hear them.
I will say, 'It is my people;'
and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
{14:1} Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your spoil will be
divided in your midst. {14:2} For I will gather all nations against
Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled,
and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity,
and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. {14:3}
Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he
fought in the day of battle. {14:4} His feet will stand in that day on
the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the
Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very
great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and
half of it toward the south. {14:5} You shall flee by the valley of my
mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes,
you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the
days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the
holy ones with you. {14:6} It will happen in that day, that there will
not be light, cold, or frost. {14:7} It will be a unique day which is
known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass,
that at evening time there will be light.
{14:8} It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out
from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them
toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.
{14:9} Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh
will be one, and his name one. {14:10} All the land will be made like
the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be
lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the
place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of
Hananel to the king's winepresses. {14:11} Men will dwell therein, and
there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely. {14:12}
This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples
who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while
they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their
sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth. {14:13} It
will happen in that day, that a great panic from Yahweh will be among
them; and they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and
his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor. {14:14} Judah
also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding
nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in
great abundance.
{14:15} So will be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the
camel, and of the donkey, and of all the animals that will be in those
camps, as that plague. {14:16} It will happen that everyone who is
left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from
year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the
feast of tents. {14:17} It will be, that whoever of all the families
of the earth doesn't go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of
Armies, on them there will be no rain. {14:18} If the family of Egypt
doesn't go up, and doesn't come, neither will it rain on them. This
will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that
don't go up to keep the feast of tents. {14:19} This will be the
punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don't
go up to keep the feast of tents. {14:20} In that day there will be on
the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO YAHWEH;" and the pots in Yahweh's
house will be like the bowls before the altar. {14:21} Yes, every pot
in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all
those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In
that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of
Armies.
