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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come 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. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 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; 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
1 以下是耶和华的默示, 这是耶和华论到以色列的话(是耶和华的宣告, 他铺张诸天, 奠定大地的根基, 造成人里面的灵):
2 "看哪! 我要使耶路撒冷成为令周围万族喝醉的杯; 耶路撒冷被围困的时候, 犹大也必受到攻击。
3 到那日, 我要使耶路撒冷对万族来说像一块沉重的石头, 举起它的必受重伤; 地上的列国必聚集起来攻击耶路撒冷。
4 到那日(这是耶和华的宣告), 我要击打所有的马匹, 使它们惊恐, 击打骑马的人, 使他们疯狂; 我必开眼看顾犹大家, 我要击打万族所有的马匹, 使它们瞎眼。
5 那时, 犹大的族长必心里说: ‘耶路撒冷的居民, 靠万军之耶和华他们的 神得着力量。’
6 "到那日, 我必使犹大的族长好像木柴中的火盆, 又好像禾捆中的火把; 他们必向左右吞灭周围的万族, 但耶路撒冷的人必仍在城中原处安居。
7 "耶和华必先拯救犹大的帐棚, 免得大卫家的荣耀和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀胜过犹大。
8 到那日, 耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民; 他们中间最软弱的, 到那日必好像大卫, 大卫家必好像 神, 好像行在他们前面的耶和华使者。
9 到那日, 我必歼灭所有前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国。
10 "我必把那恩慈与恳求的灵倾注在大卫家和耶路撒冷居民的身上。他们必仰望我, 就是他们所刺的; 他们要为他哀哭, 好像丧独生子; 他们必为他悲痛, 好像丧长子。
11 到那日, 耶路撒冷必有极大的哀哭, 像在米吉多平原的哈达临门的哀哭一样。
12 全地都要哀哭, 一家一家独在一处哀哭。大卫家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处; 拿单家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处;
13 利未家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处; 示每家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处;
14 其余的各家都是一家一家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处。"
