“On that day,
A great panic
From Yahweh
Shall fall on them.
Thus,
Each will seize
The hand of a neighbor.
The hand of the one
Will be raised
Against the hand of the other.
Even Judah
Will fight at Jerusalem.
The wealth
Of all the surrounding nations
Shall be collected,
Gold,
Silver,
Garments.
All in great abundance.”
There would be a panic on the great day of Yahweh. Thus, they would seize their neighbors by the hand. They would raise their hands against each other. Even Judah would fight with Jerusalem. All the wealth of the surrounding countries of gold, silver, and garments would be collected in large amounts. Everything would be topsy-turvy.
