Zechariah

Zechariah 12:10–13

¹⁰Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit^b of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me,^c the One they have pierced.^d They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

¹¹On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. ¹²The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, ¹³the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
