Zechariah

Zechariah 14:8–11

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