GRACE Zechariah 12:10

"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son."

And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace 
Ezekiel 37:9  Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' "

and supplication 
Isaiah 44:3  "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants."
Ezekiel 39:29  "I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD."
Joel 2:28-29  "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days."

They will look on me, the one they have pierced 
Psalm 22:16  Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.
John 19:34  Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
John 19:36-37  These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken," (Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20) and as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced." (Zechariah 12:10)

and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child 
Judges 11:34  When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter.

and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son 
Genesis 21:16  Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot watch the boy die." And as she sat there, she began to sob.
Jeremiah 31:19  " 'After I strayed, I repented; after I came to understand, I beat my breast. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.' "
