Zechariah 12:3 in Context — Zechariah 12

1 CARGA de la palabra de Jehová acerca de Israel. Jehová, que extiende los cielos, y funda la tierra, y forma el espíritu del hombre dentro de él, ha dicho:

2 He aquí, yo pongo á Jerusalem por vaso de temblor á todos los pueblos de alrededor cuando estén en el sitio contra Judá y contra Jerusalem.

3 Y será en aquel día, que yo pondré á Jerusalem por piedra pesada á todos los pueblos: todos los que se la cargaren, serán despedazados, bien que todas las gentes de la tierra se juntarán contra ella.

4 En aquel día, dice Jehová, heriré con aturdimiento á todo caballo, y con locura al que en él sube; mas sobre la casa de Judá abriré mis ojos, y á todo caballo de los pueblos heriré con ceguera.

5 Y los capitanes de Judá dirán en su corazón: Mi fuerza son los moradores de Jerusalem en Jehová de los ejércitos su Dios.
