Zechariah 12:3 in Context — Zechariah 12

1 Oracle, parole de l’Éternel sur Israël. Ainsi parle l’Éternel, qui a étendu les cieux et fondé la terre, Et qui a formé l’esprit de l’homme au-dedans de lui:

2 Voici, je ferai de Jérusalem une coupe d’étourdissement Pour tous les peuples d’alentour, Et aussi pour Juda dans le siège de Jérusalem.

3 En ce jour-là, je ferai de Jérusalem une pierre pesante pour tous les peuples; Tous ceux qui la soulèveront seront meurtris; Et toutes les nations de la terre s’assembleront contre elle.

4 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel, Je frapperai d’étourdissement tous les chevaux, Et de délire ceux qui les monteront; Mais j’aurai les yeux ouverts sur la maison de Juda, Quand je frapperai d’aveuglement tous les chevaux des peuples.

5 Les chefs de Juda diront en leur cœur: Les habitants de Jérusalem sont notre force, Par l’Éternel des armées, leur Dieu.
