Zechariah 12:10-14

Contemporary English Version

Mourning for the One Pierced with a Spear

¹⁰^(A) I, the Lord, will make the descendants of David and the people of Jerusalem feel deep sorrow and pray when they see the one they pierced with a spear. They will mourn and weep for him, as parents weep over the death of their only child or their first-born. ¹¹On that day the people of Jerusalem will mourn as much as everyone did for Hadad Rimmon^[a] on the flatlands near Megiddo. ¹²Everyone of each family in the land will mourn, and the men will mourn separately from the women. This includes those from the family of David, and the families of Nathan, ¹³Levi, Shimei,^[b] ¹⁴and all other families as well.
