“Behold, I will make Yerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Yehudah and Yerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Yerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.
In that day,” says YAHWEH, “I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Yehudah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. And the governors of Yehudah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Yerusalem are my strength in YAHWEH of hosts, their God.’
In that day I will make the governors of Yehudah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Yerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Yerusalem.
“Yahweh will save the tents of Yehudah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Yerusalem shall not become greater than that of Yehudah. In that day YAHWEH will defend the inhabitants of Yerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of YAHWEH before them. It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Yerusalem.
-Zechariah 12: 2-9
