New International Reader's Version

Zechariah 12:4-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. On that day I will fill every horse with panic. I will make every rider crazy," announces the Lord. "I will watch over the people of Judah. But I will make all of the horses of the nations blind.

5. "Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong. That's because the Lord who rules over all is their God.'

6. "At that time Judah's leaders will be like a fire pot in a pile of wood. They will be like a burning torch among bundles of grain. They will destroy all of the surrounding nations on every side. But Jerusalem will remain unharmed in its place.
