And in that day will I makeJerusalem a burdensomestone for all people: all thatburdenthemselveswith it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gatheredtogetheragainst it.

In that day will I make the governors of Judahlike an hearth of fireamong the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and theyshalldevour all the peopleroundabout, on the righthand and on the left: and Jerusalemshall be inhabitedagain in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
