Zechariah 12:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that is feeble among them, in that day shall be as David: and the house of David shall be as God’s house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them.
9 And in that day will I seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of [a]grace and of compassion, and they shall look upon me, whom they have [b]pierced, and they shall lament for [c]him, as one mourneth for his only son, and be sorry for him as one is sorry for his firstborn.
