Zechariah 14:13-20 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. At that time the Lord will cause panic. Everybody will grab his neighbor. They will attack each other.

14. The people of Judah will fight in Jerusalem. And the wealth of the nations around them will be collected. There will be much gold, silver and clothes.

15. A similar disease will strike the horses, mules, camels and donkeys. All the animals in the camps will have the disease.

16. Some of the people who came to fight Jerusalem will be left alive. They will come back to Jerusalem year after year. They will come to worship the King, the Lord of heaven’s armies. They will celebrate the Feast of Shelters.

17. Some people from the nations might not go to Jerusalem. They might not worship the King, the Lord of heaven’s armies. Then rain will not fall on their land.

18. The Egyptians might not go to Jerusalem. They might not celebrate the Feast of Shelters. Then the Lord will send them the same terrible disease the other nations got.

19. This will be the punishment. It will be for Egypt and any nation which does not go to celebrate the Feast of Shelters.

20. At that time the horses’ bells will have written on them: Holy to the Lord. The cooking pots in the Temple of the Lord will be like the holy altar bowls.
