1 This12:1 Hebrew An Oracle: This.message concerning the fate of Israel came from the Lord: "This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit. 2 I will make Jerusalemlike an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalemand Judah. 3 On that day I will make Jerusaleman immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves.
4 "On that day," says the Lord, "I will cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over the people of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of their enemies. 5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Jerusalemhave found strength in the Lordof Heaven’s Armies, their God.’
6 "On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighboring nations right and left, while the people living in Jerusalemremain secure.
7 "The Lordwill give victory to the rest of Judah first, before Jerusalem, so that the people of Jerusalemand the royal line of Davidwill not have greater honor than the rest of Judah. 8 On that day the Lordwill defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David! And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the Lordwho goes before them! 9 For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 "Then I will pour out a spirit12:10 Or the Spirit.of grace and prayer on the family of Davidand on the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died. 11 The sorrow and mourning in Jerusalemon that day will be like the great mourning for Hadad-rimmonin the valley of Megiddo.
12 "All Israel will mourn, each clan by itself, and with the husbands separate from their wives. The clan of Davidwill mourn alone, as will the clan of Nathan, 13 the clan of Levi, and the clan of Shimei. 14 Each of the surviving clans from Judah will mourn separately, and with the husbands separate from 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).
