Again the word of the LORD of
hosts came to me, saying, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; I was
jealous for Zion with great
jealousy, and I was jealous
for her with great fury. Thus
saith the LORD; I am returned
unto Zion, and will dwell in the
midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem
shall be called a city of truth; and
the mountain of the LORD of hosts
the holy mountain. Thus saith the
LORD of hosts; There shall yet old
men and old women dwell in the
streets of Jerusalem, and every man
with his staff in his hand for very
age. And the streets of the city shall
be full of boys and girls playing in
the streets thereof. Thus saith the
LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous
in the eyes of the remnant of this
people in these days, should it also
be marvellous in mine eyes? saith
the LORD of hosts. Thus saith the
LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save
my people from the east country,
and from the west country; And I
will bring them, and they shall dwell
in the midst of Jerusalem: and they
shall be my people, and I will be
their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your
hands be strong, ye that hear in these
days these words by the mouth of the
prophets, which were in the day that
the foundation of the house of the
LORD of hosts was laid, that the
temple might be built. For before
these days there was no hire for
man, nor any hire for beast; neither
was there any peace to him that went
out or came in because of the affliction:
for I set all men every one against his
neighbour. But now I will not be unto
the residue of this people as in the
former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
For the seed shall be prosperous; the
vine shall give her fruit, and the ground
shall give her increase, and the heavens
shall give their dew; and I will cause
the remnant of this people to possess all
these things.
Zechariah 8:1-12
