Zechariah

Zechariah 14:6–10

⁶On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. ⁷It will be a unique day known only to the LORD, without day or night; but when evening comes, there will be light.

⁸And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea^b and the other half toward the Western Sea,^c in summer and winter alike. ⁹On that day the LORD will become King over all the earth— the LORD alone, and His name alone.

¹⁰All 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.
