Zechariah 12:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ But I will first give victory to Judah, so the kingdom of David and the city of Jerusalem in all of their glory won't be thought of more highly than Judah itself. ⁸ I, the Lord God, will protect Jerusalem. Even the weakest person there will be as strong as David, and David's kingdom will rule as though my very own angel were its leader. ⁹ I am determined to wipe out every nation that attacks Jerusalem.
