Zechariah, 12

1. The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

1. An oracle. This is the word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Word of Yahweh, who spread out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth and formed the spirit of man within him.

2. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.

2. "See, I am making of Jerusalem a cup that will send the nations reeling; it will happen when Jerusalem is besieged.

3. 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.

3. On that day I shall make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations around her. All the nations will be united against her and all who try to lift the rock will be badly injured."

4. 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.

4. Yahweh says: "On that day I will make every horse wild with fright, every rider demented. All the horses of the nations will be blinded but I will watch over Judah

5. And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

5. and the leaders of the clans of Judah will say to themselves: 'The strength of the inhabitants of Jerusalem comes from Yahweh their God.'

6. 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.

6. On that day I will make the leaders of the clans of Judah like a fire in a woodland and a flaming torch among the sheaves. They will devour right and left all the nations around them, while Jerusalem will continue to hold its site.

7. The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah.

7. Yahweh will first save the towns and villages of Judah so that David's people and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not feel more important than the rest of Judah.

8. In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

8. On that day Yahweh will strengthen the inhabitants of Jerusalem in such a way that the weaklings among them shall be like David and David's people who lead them, will be like God, like an angel of Yahweh.

9. And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

9. On that day I will see to the destroying of all the nations that came against Jerusalem.

10. 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.

10. I will pour out on the family of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of love and supplication. They will look at the one who was pierced and mourn for him as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn.

11. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

11. The mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning of Haddadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12. And the land shall 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;

12. Each family will mourn individually: the family of David by themselves and their wives separately; the family of Nathan by themselves and their wives separately,

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

13. the family of Levi by themselves and their wives separately, the family of Shimei by themselves and their wives separately

14. All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

14. and the same with the other families, each family by themselves and their wives separately.

12:1-2 - Zechariah prophesies of the future Jerusalem, which will be attacked but protected by God. The city of Jerusalem is seen as central to God's plans, and His divine intervention will be key to the preservation of the people (see also Matthew 23:37-39 and Revelation 21:2).

12:3-5 - Jerusalem will be a "cup of drunkenness" to the nations, symbolizing the difficulty of world powers in defeating God's chosen city. This verse highlights God's sovereignty over the nations and His defense of His people (see also Psalm 2:1-6 and Isaiah 40:23-24).

12:6-9 - God promises to raise up the inhabitants of Jerusalem as heroes against their enemies. Jerusalem's victory, with divine help, is a sign that God is restoring the dignity of His people (see also Isaiah 59:19 and 1 Corinthians 15:25-28).

12:10-14 - The promise that the inhabitants of Jerusalem will look upon the One they have pierced, referring to the Messiah, points to Israel's future conversion and collective repentance. This prefigures their lament and acceptance of Christ as Savior (see also John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7).

12:9 - On that day, God promises to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. This is a manifestation of God's judgment against those who oppose His redemptive plan, reaffirming His absolute control over history (see also Joel 3:2 and Matthew 25:31-46).
