Zechariah 14:1-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. A day is coming for the Lord when the spoils taken from you will be divided in your midst.

2. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: The city will be taken, houses will be plundered, women raped; half the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.

3. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, fighting as on a day of battle.

4. On that day God’s feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a very deep valley, and half of the mountain will move to the north and half of it to the south.

5. You will flee by the valley between the mountains, for the valley between the mountains will reach to Azal. Thus you will flee as you fled because of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all his holy ones with him.

6. On that day there will no longer be cold or frost.

7. There will be one continuous day—it is known to the Lord—not day and night, for in the evening there will be light.

8. On that day, fresh water will flow from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea, and half to the western sea. This will be so in summer and in winter.

9. The Lord will be king over the whole earth; on that day the Lord will be the only one, and the Lord’s name the only one.
