Zechariah 12:5 in Context — Zechariah 12

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.

6 En ce jour-là, je ferai des chefs de Juda Comme un foyer ardent parmi du bois, Comme une torche enflammée parmi des gerbes; Ils dévoreront à droite et à gauche tous les peuples d’alentour, Et Jérusalem restera à sa place, à Jérusalem.

7 L’Éternel sauvera d’abord les tentes de Juda, Afin que la gloire de la maison de David, La gloire des habitants de Jérusalem ne s’élève pas au-dessus de Juda.
