[the] oracle of [the] word of Yahweh on Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [who] stretched out heaven and [who] founded earth and [who] formed [the] spirit of a human in inner being his.
2 “Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the surrounding peoples, And it is also against Judah, In the siege against Jerusalem.
Here! I [am] about to make Jerusalem a basin of reeling for all the peoples all around and also on Judah it will be in the siege on Jerusalem.
3 And it has come to pass in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.
And it will be on the day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples all [those who] carry it severely they will injure themselves and they will gather on it all [the] nations of the earth.
4 In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I strike every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I strike with blindness.
On the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh I will strike every horse with bewilderment and rider its with madness and over [the] house of Judah I will open eyes my and every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
5 And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [are] strength to me, In YHWH of Hosts their God.
And they will say [the] chiefs of Judah in heart their [are] strength of me [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem by Yahweh of hosts God their.
6 In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed—on the right and on the left—all the surrounding peoples, And Jerusalem has again inhabited her place in Jerusalem.
On the day that I will make [the] chiefs of Judah like a pot of fire among wood and like a torch of fire among cut grain and they will consume on [the] right [side] and on [the] left [side] all the peoples all around and it will remain Jerusalem again in place its in Jerusalem.
7 And YHWH has saved the tents of Judah first, So that the beauty of the house of David does not become great against Judah, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.

8 In that day YHWH covers over the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them has been in that day as David, And the house of David as God—As the Messenger of YHWH—before them.
On the day that he will defend Yahweh for [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and he will be the [one who] stumbles among them on the day that like David and [the] house of David [will be] like God like [the] angel of Yahweh before them.
9 And it has come to pass in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,
And it will be on the day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that are coming on Jerusalem.
10 And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, The Spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked to Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over Him, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for Him, Like a bitterness over the firstborn.
And I will pour out on [the] house of David and on - [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem a spirit of favor and supplications and they will look to me [the one] whom they have pierced through and they will mourn on him like mourning on only [son] and they will show bitterness on him as shows bitterness on firstborn.
11 In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon,
On the day that it will be great the mourning in Jerusalem like [the] mourning of Hadad-Rimmon in [the] plain of Megiddo.
12 And the land has mourned—every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;
