Zechariah 12:5-7
International Standard Version
5 The leaders of Judah will say to themselves, “Those who live in Jerusalem are my strength through the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, their God.” 6 ‘At that time,[a] I will make the leaders of Judah like a brazier filled with blazing wood, or like a torch setting fire to harvested grain. They will devour all the invading[b] armies, both on the right hand and on the left. As a result, Jerusalem will again be inhabited in its rightful place—as the real[c] Jerusalem.’”
7 The Lord will deliver the tents of Judah first, so that neither the glory of the house[d] of David nor the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem overshadows Judah.
