11. People will live there, and it will never be destroyed again. Jerusalem will be safe.
12. But the Lord will bring a terrible disease on the nations that fought against Jerusalem. 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, and they will attack each other.
14. The people of Judah will fight in Jerusalem. And the wealth of the nations around them will be collected—much gold, silver, and clothes.
15. A similar disease will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals in the camps.
16. All of those left alive of the people who came to fight Jerusalem will come back to Jerusalem year after year to worship the King, the Lord All-Powerful, and to celebrate the Feast of Shelters.
17. Anyone from the nations who does not go to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord All-Powerful, will not have rain fall on his land.
18. If the Egyptians do not go to Jerusalem, they will not have rain. Then the Lord will send them the same terrible disease he sent the other nations that did not celebrate the Feast of Shelters.
19. This will be the punishment for Egypt and any nation which does not go to celebrate the Feast of Shelters.
