11. It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.
12. This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13. On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.
14. Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected – great quantities of gold and silver and clothing.
15. A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.
16. Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
17. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.
