Jeg vil utøse nådens og bønnens ånd over Davids hus og Jerusalems innbyggere; og de vil se til meg, som de har gjennomboret, og de skal sørge over ham som man sørger over en enbårent sønn, og klage bittert over ham, som man klager over den førstefødte.
I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me{After "me," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav" (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as a word, but as a grammatical marker.} whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
