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.

And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse
among the heathen,
O house
of Judah,
and house
of Israel;
so will I save
you, and ye shall be a blessing:
fear
not, but let your hands
be strong.
For thus saith
the LORD
of hosts;
As I thought
to punish
you, when your fathers
provoked me to wrath,
saith
the LORD
of hosts,
and I repented
not:
intend
διενοήθην
dienoēthēn
So again
have I thought
in these days
to do well
unto Jerusalem
and to the house
of Judah:
fear
ye not.
These are the things
that ye shall do;
Speak
ye every man
the truth
to his neighbour;
execute
the judgment
of truth
and peace
in your gates:
And let none
of you imagine
evil
in your hearts
against his neighbour;
and love
no false
oath:
for all these are things that I hate,
saith
the LORD.
And the word
of the LORD
of hosts
came unto me, saying,
Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts;
The fast
of the fourth
month, and the fast
of the fifth,
and the fast
of the seventh,
and the fast
of the tenth,
shall be to the house
of Judah
joy
and gladness,
and cheerful
feasts;
therefore love
the truth
and peace.

Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts;
It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come
people,
and the inhabitants
of many
cities:
And the inhabitants
of one
city shall go
to another,
saying,
Let us go
speedily
to pray
before
the LORD,
and to seek
the LORD
of hosts:
I will go
also.
Yea, many
people
and strong
nations
shall come
to seek
the LORD
of hosts
in Jerusalem,
and to pray
before
the LORD.

Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts;
In those days
it shall come to pass, that ten
men
shall take hold
out of all languages
of the nations,
even shall take hold
of the skirt
of him that is a Jew,
saying,
We will go
with you: for we have heard
that God
is with you.
