Zechariah 12:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
12 And the [f]land shall bewail every family [g]apart, the family of the [h]house of David apart, and their wives apart: the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart:
