Zechariah 12:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the [d]mourning of [e]Hadad Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
