Zechariah 14:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the [a]mount of olives, which is before Jerusalem on the Eastside, and the mount of olives shall cleave in the midst thereof: toward the East and toward the West there shall be a very great [b]valley, and half of the mountain shall remove toward the North, and half of the mountain toward the South.
5 And ye shall flee unto the [c]valley of the mountains: for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee like as ye fled from the [d]earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord [e]my God shall come, and all the Saints with thee.
6 And in that day shall there be no clear light but dark.
