1 # Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> came to me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; I was jealous <07065> (8765) for Zion <06726> with great <01419> jealousy <07068>, and I was jealous <07065> (8765) for her with great <01419> fury <02534> .
3 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; I am returned <07725> (8804) unto Zion <06726>, and will dwell <07931> (8804) in the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and Jerusalem <03389> shall be called <07121> (8738) a city <05892> of truth <0571>; and the mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> the holy <06944> mountain <02022>.
4 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; There shall yet old men <02205> and old women <02205> dwell <03427> (8799) in the streets <07339> of Jerusalem <03389>, and every man <0376> with his staff <04938> in his hand <03027> for very <07230> age <03117>.
5 And the streets <07339> of the city <05892> shall be full <04390> (8735) of boys <03206> and girls <03207> playing <07832> (8764) in the streets <07339> thereof.
6 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; If it be marvellous <06381> (8735) in the eyes <05869> of the remnant <07611> of this people <05971> in these days <03117>, should it also be marvellous <06381> (8735) in mine eyes <05869>? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
7 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Behold, I will save <03467> (8688) my people <05971> from the east <04217> country <0776>, and from the west <03996> <08121> country <0776>;
8 And I will bring <0935> (8689) them, and they shall dwell <07931> (8804) in the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>: and they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>, in truth <0571> and in righteousness <06666>.
9 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Let your hands <03027> be strong <02388> (8799), ye that hear <08085> (8802) in these days <03117> these words <01697> by the mouth <06310> of the prophets <05030>, which were in the day <03117> that the foundation <03245> <00> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> was laid <03245> (8795), that the temple <01964> might be built <01129> (8736).
10 For before <06440> these days <03117> there was <01961> (8738) no hire <07939> for man <0120>, nor any hire <07939> for beast <0929>; neither was there any peace <07965> to him that went out <03318> (8802) or came in <0935> (8802) because of the affliction <06862>: for I set <07971> (8762) all men <0120> every one <0376> against his neighbour <07453>.
11 But now I will not be unto the residue <07611> of this people <05971> as in the former <07223> days <03117> , saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
12 For the seed <02233> shall be prosperous <07965>; the vine <01612> shall give <05414> (8799) her fruit <06529>, and the ground <0776> shall give <05414> (8799) her increase <02981>, and the heavens <08064> shall give <05414> (8799) their dew <02919>; and I will cause the remnant <07611> of this people <05971> to possess <05157> (8689) all these things.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse <07045> among the heathen <01471>, O house <01004> of Judah <03063> , and house <01004> of Israel <03478>; so will I save <03467> (8686) you, and ye shall be a blessing <01293>: fear <03372> (8799) not, but let your hands <03027> be strong <02388> (8799).
14 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; As I thought <02161> (8804) to punish <07489> (8687) you, when your fathers <01> provoked me to wrath <07107> (8687), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I repented <05162> (8738) not:
15 So again <07725> (8804) have I thought <02161> (8804) in these days <03117> to do well <03190> (8687) unto Jerusalem <03389> and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063>: fear <03372> (8799) ye not.
16 These are the things <01697> that ye shall do <06213> (8799); Speak <01696> (8761) ye every man <0376> the truth <0571> to his neighbour <07453>; execute <08199> (8798) the judgment <04941> of truth <0571> and peace <07965> in your gates <08179>:
17 And let none <0376> of you imagine <02803> (8799) evil <07451> in your hearts <03824> against his neighbour <07453>; and love <0157> (8799) no false <08267> oath <07621>: for all these are things that I hate <08130> (8804) , saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
18 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
19 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; The fast <06685> of the fourth <07243> month, and the fast <06685> of the fifth <02549>, and the fast <06685> of the seventh <07637>, and the fast <06685> of the tenth <06224>, shall be to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> joy <08342> and gladness <08057>, and cheerful <02896> feasts <04150>; therefore love <0157> (8798) the truth <0571> and peace <07965>.
20 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come <0935> (8799) people <05971>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of many <07227> cities <05892>:
21 And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of one <0259> city shall go <01980> (8804) to another <0259> , saying <0559> (8800), Let us go <03212> (8799) speedily <01980> (8800) to pray <02470> (8763) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: I will go <03212> (8799) also.
22 Yea, many <07227> people <05971> and strong <06099> nations <01471> shall come <0935> (8804) to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in Jerusalem <03389>, and to pray <02470> (8763) before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
23 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; In those days <03117> it shall come to pass , that ten <06235> men <0582> shall take hold <02388> (8686) out of all languages <03956> of the nations <01471>, even shall take hold <02388> (8689) of the skirt <03671> of him that is a Jew <0376> <03064>, saying <0559> (8800), We will go <03212> (8799) with you: for we have heard <08085> (8804) that God <0430> is with you.
