Zechariah 14:6-11

The LORD King Over All the Earth

Jerusalem is assaulted in the day of the LORD, but the LORD comes, fights, reigns as king over all the earth, judges rebellious nations, gathers survivors to worship, and fills Jerusalem with holiness.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost.

7 It will be a unique day known only to the LORD, without day or night; but when evening comes, there will be light.

8 And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, in summer and winter alike.

9 On that day the LORD will become King over all the earth—the LORD alone, and His name alone.

10 All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain, but Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain in her place, from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.

11 People will live there, and never again will there be an utter destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell securely.
