Zechariah 12:1-3

New International Reader's Version

The Lord Will Destroy Jerusalem’s Enemies

12 This is a prophecy. It is the Lord’s message about Israel.

The Lord spreads out the heavens. He lays the foundation of the earth. He creates the human spirit within a person. He says, ² “Jerusalem will be like a cup in my hand. It will make all the surrounding nations drunk from the wine of my anger. Judah will be attacked by its enemies. So will Jerusalem. ³ At that time all the nations on earth will gather together against Jerusalem. Then it will become like a rock that can’t be moved. All the nations that try to move it will only hurt themselves.
