Mourning for the Pierced One

10 “Then I will pour out a spirit(a)(A) of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at(b) Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn.(B) 11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, every family by itself: the family of David’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Nathan’s(c)(C) house by itself and their women by themselves; 13 the family of Levi’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Shimei(d)(D) by itself and their women by themselves; 14 all the remaining families, every family by itself, and their women by themselves.
