Zechariah 12:10-14

Mourning for the Pierced

A Cup of Reeling · Zechariah 12

Open this scene in the reader →

10And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, and they will look to me, the one whom they pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and weep bitterly for him as one weeps bitterly for a firstborn.

11On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will become great, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12And the land will mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves.

13the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves.

14all the families that remain, family by family by themselves, and their wives by themselves.
