New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition), “Zechariah 12:10”

2013 · Zechariah 12:10 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“and they will look to the one whom they pierced, and they will wail over him as they would wail over an only son”

The speaker throughout the verse is Jehovah ('I will pour out'), but the object of 'look to' is rendered 'the one', not 'me'. The 1984 Reference Bible read 'they will certainly look to the One whom they pierced through'.
