Zechariah 12:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong. This is because the Lord of heaven’s armies is their God.’

⁶ “At that time I will make the leaders of Judah like a fire burning a stack of wood. They will be like a fire burning straw. They will destroy all the people around them left and right. But Jerusalem will remain safe.

⁷ “The Lord will save the people of Judah first. Then the people in Jerusalem, David’s city, won’t have more honor than Judah.
