Zechariah 14:4-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. On that day he will stand upon the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem.The Mount of Olives will be split in half by a very large valley running from east to west.Half of the mountain will move north,and the other half will move south.

5. You will flee through the valley of my mountain,because the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal.You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Judah’s King Uzziah.The Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

6. On that day, there will be no light.Splendid things will disappear.

7. On one day known to the Lord, there will be neither day nor night,but at evening time there will be light.

8. On that day, running water will flow out from Jerusalem,half of it to the Dead Seaand half of it to the Mediterranean;this will happen during the summer and the fall.

9. The Lord will become king over all the land.On that day the Lord will be one,and the Lord’s name will be one.

10. The entire land will become like the desertfrom Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem.Jerusalem will be high up and firmly in placefrom the Benjamin Gate to the place of the former gate,to the Corner Gate, and from the Hananel Tower to the king’s wine vats.
