The Day of the Lord
The city shall be taken,
The houses1 rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
bMaking a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the aearthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
bThus the Lord my God will come,
And call the saints with You.
aWhich is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night.
But at bevening time it shall happen
That it will be light.
That living awaters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward1 the eastern sea
And half of them toward1 the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
In that day it shall be—
b“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.
And ano longer shall there be utter destruction,
bBut Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
