2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem (city of peace) a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah (praised) will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem (city of peace) a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured. 4 On that day, declares the LORD {YHWH}, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah (praised), but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the leaders of Judah (praised) will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem (city of peace) are my strength, for the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts is their God {Elohehem}.’ 6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah (praised) like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem (city of peace) remain secure there. 7 The LORD {YHWH} will save the tents of Judah (praised) first, so that the glory of the house of David (beloved) and of the people of Jerusalem (city of peace) may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the LORD {YHWH} will defend the people of Jerusalem (city of peace), so that the weakest among them will be like David (beloved), and the house of David will be like God {Elohim}, like the angel (Angel) of the LORD going before them. 9 So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem (city of peace).
