“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, and like a flaming torch among sheaves [of grain]. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and the people of Jerusalem will again live [securely] in their own place, in Jerusalem.
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
“On the Big Day, I’ll turn the families of Judah into something like a burning match in a tinder-dry forest, like a fiercely flaming torch in a barn full of hay. They’ll burn up everything and everyone in sight—people to the right, people to the left—while Jerusalem fills up with people moving in and making themselves at home—home again in Jerusalem. 7-8 “I, God, will begin by restoring the common households of Judah so that the glory of David’s family and the leaders in Jerusalem won’t overshadow the ordinary people in Judah. On the Big Day, I’ll look after everyone who lives in Jerusalem so that the lowliest, weakest person will be as glorious as David and the family of David itself will be godlike, like the Angel of God leading the people.
“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem.
“At that time Judah’s family groups will be like a fire pot in a pile of wood. They will be like a burning torch among bundles of grain. They will destroy all the surrounding nations on every side. But Jerusalem will remain unharmed in its place.
“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
‘On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a brazier in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighboring nations right and left, while the people living in Jerusalem remain secure.

فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ عَشَائِرَ يَهُوذَا كَمُسْتَوْقَدِ نَارٍ بَيْنَ الْحَطَبِ، أَوْ كَمِشْعَلٍ مُلْتَهِبٍ بَيْنَ أَكْدَاسِ الْحِنْطَةِ، فَيَلْتَهِمُونَ الشُّعُوبَ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ مِمَّنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ، بَيْنَمَا تَظَلُّ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُسْتَقِرَّةً آمِنَةً آهِلَةً فِي مَوْضِعِهَا.
Danish
Til den tid vil jeg gøre Juda til en ild, der antænder tørt brænde, en fakkel, der sætter neg i brand. Judas folk vil besejre nabolandene, så Jerusalems indbyggere kan få lov at være i fred.
German
An jenem Tag mache ich Judas Anführer für ihre Feinde zu einer Schale voll glühender Kohlen, die mitten in einem Holzhaufen steht. So wie eine brennende Fackel Stroh in Flammen aufgehen lässt, so werden sie die feindlichen Völker zu allen Seiten vernichten. Jerusalem aber bleibt unversehrt an seinem Ort bestehen.
Spanish
»En aquel día convertiré a los jefes de Judá en un brasero ardiente dentro de un bosque, en una antorcha encendida entre las gavillas. A diestra y a siniestra devorarán a todos los pueblos vecinos, pero Jerusalén misma volverá a ser habitada.

French
En ce jour-là, je ferai des chefs de Juda un foyer d’incendie dans un tas de bois, une torche enflammée dans un grand tas de foin, et ils consumeront à leur droite et à leur gauche les peuples d’alentour. Et Jérusalem restera installée à sa place.

“Sa sina man nga adlaw, himuon ko ang mga pangulo sang Juda nga daw pareho sang nagakalayo nga balagahan sa may tinumpok nga mga kahoy ukon pareho sang nagadabadaba nga sulo sa may binugkos nga mga uhay. Laglagon nila ang mga nasyon sa palibot nila. Pero indi maano ang katawhan sang Jerusalem sa ila lugar.

“그 날에 내가 유다의 지도자들을 나무 가운데 있는 화로와 같게 하고 곡식단 사이에 있는 횃불과 같게 하겠다. 그들이 그 좌우에 둘러싼 모든 민족을 소멸할 것이다. 그러나 예루살렘 주민들은 그 곳 예루살렘에 그대로 머물러 있을 것이다.

Die dag zal Ik de leiders van Juda laten zijn als een klein vuurtje dat een bosbrand veroorzaakt, als een fakkel bij een hooiberg. Alle aangrenzende naties links en rechts zullen zij verteren, terwijl Jeruzalem niet van haar plaats zal wijken.
Portuguese
“Naquele dia farei que os líderes de Judá sejam semelhantes a um braseiro no meio de um monte de lenha, como uma tocha incandescente entre gravetos. Eles consumirão à direita e à esquerda todos os povos ao redor, mas Jerusalém permanecerá intacta em seu lugar.
Nesse tempo, farei com que as famílias de Judá se tornem como tochas acesas dentro duma floresta cheia de ramos secos, ou como um fósforo aceso no meio da palha; incendiarão todas as nações vizinhas em redor, enquanto Jerusalém se manterá inabalável.

În ziua aceea, îi voi face pe conducătorii lui Iuda ca un vas cu jăratic sub o grămadă de lemne şi ca o torţă aprinsă într-un snop! Ei vor devora, în dreapta şi în stânga, toate popoarele din jur, în timp ce Ierusalimul va fi locuit din nou pe propriul lui loc[b].
Russian
В тот день Я сделаю вождей Иудеи горящей жаровней среди дров, пламенеющим факелом среди снопов. Они будут пожирать все народы вокруг – направо и налево, а Иерусалим снова будет заселён на прежнем месте.
