Zechariah 14:1-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Behold, the days of the Lord will arrive, and your spoils will be divided in your midst.

2. And I will gather all the Gentiles in battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, and the houses will be ravaged, and the women will be violated. And the central part of the city will go forth into captivity, and the remainder of the people will not be taken away from the city.

3. Then the Lord will go forth, and he will fight against those Gentiles, just as when he fought in the day of conflict.

4. And his feet will stand firm, in that day, upon the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem towards the East. And the mount of Olives will be divided down its center part, towards the East and towards the West, with a very great rupture, and the center of the mountain will be separated towards the North, and its center towards the Meridian.

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.

12. And this will be the plague by which the Lord will strike all the Gentiles that have fought against Jerusalem. The flesh of each one will waste away while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes will be consumed in their sockets, and their tongue will be consumed in their mouth.

13. In that day, there will be a great tumult from the Lord among them. And a man will take the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will be clasped upon the hand of his neighbor.
