Zechariah 14:12

"Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely."

Key Reflection

This verse envisions a future where Jerusalem experiences eternal peace and security, free from any curses or harm, symbolizing the complete restoration and blessing of God's people in their holy city. It contrasts the temporary hardships of this world with the permanent safety promised to those who dwell in God's presence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Again, upon the restoration of His people follows the destruction of His enemies. It shall, first and chiefly, be God’s doing, not man’s. “This shall be the plague.” The word is used of direct infliction by pestilence, “wherewith the Lord shall smite all the people (peoples) that fought against Jerusalem.” The awful description is of living corpses.
