Zechariah 14 — Context

5

You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.

6

It will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.

7

It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.

8

It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.

9

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

10

All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.

11

Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.
