Zechariah 14 — Context

5

And you will flee to the valley of those mountains, because the valley of the mountains will be joined all the way to the next. And you will flee, just as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the Lord my God will arrive, and all the saints with him.

6

And this shall be in that day: there will not be light, only cold and frost.

7

And there will be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day and not night. And in the time of the evening, there will be light.

8

And this shall be in that day: the living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them towards the East sea, and half of them towards the furthest sea. They will be in summer and in winter.

9

And the Lord will be King over all the earth. In that day, there will be one Lord, and his name will be one.

10

And all the land will return even to the desert, from the hill of Rimmon to the South of Jerusalem. And she will be exalted, and she will dwell in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin even to the place of the former gate, and even to the gate of the corners, and from the tower of Hananel even to the pressing room of the king.

11

And they will dwell in it, and there will be no further anathema, but Jerusalem shall sit securely.
