1 A prophecy: The word of the Lordconcerning Israel.
The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 "I am going to make Jerusalema cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusaleman immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalemare strong, because the LordAlmighty is their God.’
6 "On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalemwill remain intact in her place.
7 "The Lordwill save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of Davidand of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lordwill shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of Davidwill be like God, like the angel of the Lordgoing before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 "And I will pour out on the house of Davidand the inhabitants of Jerusalema spirit12:10 Or the Spiritof grace and supplication. They will look on12:10 Or tome, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalemwill be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmonin the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of Davidand their wives, the clan of the house of Nathanand their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Leviand their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.

Levi, terceiro filho de Jacó e Lia, vingou com Simeão a violação da irmã Diná em Siquém; seus descendentes, os levitas, foram separados para o serviço do santuário (Gênesis 34:25).
