Zechariah 12:7
Compare all
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’
6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah alike a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.  
7 “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah.
8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them.
9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to adestroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.  

Mourning for the Pierced One

10 a“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will blook on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him cas one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
