Zechariah 8:1–8
Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
aI was jealous for Zion with great jealousy,
And I was jealous for her bwith great fury.
3 Thus saith the Lord; cI am returned unto Zion,
And dwill dwell in the midst of Jerusalem:
And Jerusalem shall be called ea city of truth;
And fthe mountain of the Lord of hosts gthe holy mountain.
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
hThere shall yet old men and old women dwell iin the streets of Jerusalem,
And every man with his staff in his hand †for very age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls
Playing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
If it be ||marvellous in the eyes of kthe remnant of this people in these days,
lShould it also be ||marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Behold, mI will save my people nfrom the east country,
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem:
And othey shall be my people, and I will be their God,
pIn truth and in righteousness.
