Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Zechariah 13
⁷ "Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate," Declares the Lord of hosts. "Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.
⁸ "It will come about in all the land," Declares the Lord, "That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.
⁹ "And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ’They are My people,’ And they will say, ’The Lord is my God.’"
Zechariah 14
¹ Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.
² For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
³ Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
⁴ In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.
⁵ You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!
⁶ In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.
⁷ For it will be a unique day which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light.
⁸ And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.
