5. The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of Hosts their God.’
6. In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire amongst wood, and like a flaming torch amongst sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
7. The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
8. In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble amongst them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the Lord’s angel before them.
9. It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
