12:1 耶和華論以色列的默示。鋪張諸天、建立地基、造人裡面之靈的耶和華說：
12:2 「我必使耶路撒冷被圍困的時候，向四圍列國的民成為令人昏醉的杯；這默示也論到猶大（或譯：猶大也是如此）。
12:3 那日，我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻擊他的萬民當作一塊重石頭；凡舉起的必受重傷。
12:4 耶和華說：到那日，我必使一切馬匹驚惶，使騎馬的顛狂。我必看顧猶大家，使列國的一切馬匹瞎眼。
12:5 猶大的族長必心裡說：『耶路撒冷的居民倚靠萬軍之耶和華─他們的上帝，就作我們的能力。』
12:6 「那日，我必使猶大的族長如火盆在木柴中，又如火把在禾捆裡；他們必左右燒滅四圍列國的民。耶路撒冷人必仍住本處，就是耶路撒冷。
12:7 耶和華必先拯救猶大的帳棚，免得大衛家的榮耀和耶路撒冷居民的榮耀勝過猶大。
12:8 那日，耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民。他們中間軟弱的必如大衛；大衛的家必如上帝，如行在他們前面之耶和華的使者。
12:9 那日，我必定意滅絕來攻擊耶路撒冷各國的民。

make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely

the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited
in its place, in Jerusalem.
“And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, that the
glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may
not surpass that of Judah. On that day
the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among
them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God,
