OET (OET-LV) In_the_day (the)_that the_utterance_of YHWH I_will_strike every_of horse in/on/at/with_panic and_rider_of_its in/on/at/with_madness and_over the_house_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I_will_open DOM eye_of_my and_all/each/any/every (the)_horse_of the_peoples I_will_strike in/on/at/with_blindness.
OET (OET-RV) This is Yahweh’s declaration: At that time, I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. I’ll open my eyes over the Yehudah region, but I’ll strike every horse from other countries with blindness.
These verses continue telling about the coming attack against Jerusalem and how God will rescue the city.

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=day (the)=that declares_of YHWH strike all horse in/on/at/with,panic and,rider_of,its in/on/at/with,madness and,over house_of Yehuda keep_~_open DOM eye_of,my and=all/each/any/every horse_of the,peoples strike in/on/at/with,blindness )
Opening eyes over someone here is a metaphor for wanting to do good things for that person. Alternate translation: “I will do good things for the house of Judah” or “I will protect the house of Judah”

(Occurrence 0) the house of Judah
(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=day (the)=that declares_of YHWH strike all horse in/on/at/with,panic and,rider_of,its in/on/at/with,madness and,over house_of Yehuda keep_~_open DOM eye_of,my and=all/each/any/every horse_of the,peoples strike in/on/at/with,blindness )
Here “house” represents people. Alternate translation: “the people of Judah”
12:4 Madness, blindness, and panic were among the curses threatened against Israel for covenant disobedience (Deut 28:28). The day of the Lord will witness a reversal as these curses are turned against Israel’s enemies (see 2 Kgs 7:6-7).
• watch over (literally open my eyes): The open eyes of God represent divine provision for those in desperate need (see Gen 16:13-14; 21:19-21).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
