7. There will be no other day like it. The Lord knows when it will come. There will be no day or night. Even at evening it will still be light.
8. At that time fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. Half of it will flow east to the Dead Sea. And half of it will flow west to the Mediterranean Sea. It will flow summer and winter.
9. Then the Lord will be king over the whole world. At that time there will be only one Lord. And his name will be the only name.
10. All the land south of Jerusalem from Geba to Rimmon will be turned into a plain. Jerusalem will be raised up. But it will stay in the same place. The city will reach from the Benjamin Gate to the First Gate to the Corner Gate. It will go from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
11. People will live there. It will never be destroyed again. Jerusalem will be safe.
12. But the Lord will punish the nations that fought against Jerusalem. He will bring a terrible disease on them. Their flesh will rot away while they are still standing up. Their eyes will rot in their sockets. And their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13. At that time the Lord will cause panic. Everybody will grab his neighbor. They will attack each other.
