1   Behold the dayes of our Lord shal come, and thy spoyles shal be diuided in the middes of thee.

2   And I ^note wil gather together al nations to Ierusalem into battel, and the citie shal be taken, and the houses shal be wasted, and the wemen shal be defiled: and the halfe part of the citie shal goe forth into captiuitie, and the rest of the people shal not be taken away out of the citie.

3   And our Lord wil goe forth, and wil fight against those nations, as he fought in the day of conflict.

4   And his feete shal stand in that day vpon the mount of oliues, which is against Ierusalem toward the East: and the mount of oliues shal be clouen by the halfe part therof to the East, & to the Weast with a stiepe rupture exceding great, and halfe of the mountayne shal be seperated to the North, & halfe therof to the South.

5   And you shal flie to the valley of those mountaynes, because the valley of the mountaynes shal be ioyned euen to the next, and you shal flee as you fled from the face ^noteof the earthquake in the dayes of Ozias king of Iuda: and our Lord my God shal come, and al the saintes with him.

6   And it shal be in that day: there shal be no light, but cold and frost.

7   And there shal be one day, which is knowen to our Lord, not day nor night: & in the time of the euening there shal be light.

8   And it shal be in that day: ^note liuing waters shal issue forth out of Ierusalem: halfe of them to ^note the East sea, and halfe of them to the last sea: in ^note summer & in winter shal they be.

9   And our Lord shal be king ouer al the earth: in that day there shal be one Lord, & his name shal be one.

10   And al the land shal returne euen to the desert, from the hil of Remmon to the South of Ierusalem: and it shal be exalted, and shal dwel in her place, from

the gate of Beniamin euen to the place of the former gate, and euen to the gate of the corners: & from the towre of Hananeel euen to the kings presses.

11   And they shal dwel in it, and there shal be anathema no more: but Ierusalem shal sit secure.

12   And this shal be the plague, wherwith our Lord shal strike al nations, that haue fought against Ierusalem: ^note the flesh shal pine away of euerie one standing vpon his feete, and his eyes shal weare away in their holes, & their tongue shal consume away in their mouth.

13   In that day there shal be a great tumult of our Lord among them: and a man shal take the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shal be clasped vpon his neighbours hand

14   Yea and Iudas shal fight agaynst Ierusalem: and the riches of al nations round about shal be gathered together, gold, and siluer, and garments exceding manie.

15   And so shal there be ruine of horse, and mule, and camel, and asse, and of al the beasts, that shal be in those tents, as is this ruine.

16   And al ^note that shal be left of al Nations, that came against Ierusalem, shal goe vp from yeare to yeare, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the festiuitie of tabernacles.

17   And it shal be: he ^note that shal not ascend of the families of the land to Ierusalem, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there shal be no showre vpon them.

18   Yea and if the familie of Ægypt shal not ascend, and shal not come: neither vpon them shal it be, but ruine shal be, wherwith our Lord wil strike al Nations that wil not ascend to celebrate the festiuitie of tabernacles.

19   This shal be the sinne of Ægypt, and this the sinne of al Nations, that wil not ascend to celebrate the festiuitie of tabernacles.

20   In that day shal that which is vpon the bridle of the horse be holie to our Lord: and the caudrons in the house of our Lord shal be as the phials before the altar.

21   And euerie caudron in Ierusalem, and Iuda shal be sanctified to the Lord of hosts: and al that immolate, shal come, and take of them, and shal sethe in them: & there shal be merchant no more in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day.
