Zechariah 12:10-11

Him Whom They Have Pierced

10 "And z I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and z pleas for mercy, so that, a when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, b they shall mourn for him, c as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 o On that day d the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great e as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
