Zechariah 12:10
Evangelical Heritage Version
They Will Mourn for the One They Pierced
10 “I[a] will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace, who pleads for mercy.[b] Then they will look at me, the one they have pierced.”
They will mourn for him[c] as one mourns for an only child. They will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves over his firstborn.
