1. The day when the Lord will sit in judgement is near. Then Jerusalem will be looted, and the loot will be divided up before your eyes.
2. The Lord will bring all the nations together to make war on Jerusalem. The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the people will go into exile, but the rest of them will not be taken away from the city.
3. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he has fought in times past.
4. At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a large valley. Half the mountain will move northwards and half of it southwards.
