Zechariah 8:1-8 ▼

1 And the word of YHWH of Hosts came, saying,

2 thus says YHWH of Hosts: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great rage I am jealous for her!”

3 Thus says YHWH: “I will return to Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of YHWH of Hosts, the Mountain of Holiness.”

4 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Again old men and old women will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand from an abundance of days.

5 And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”

6 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also in My eyes be marvelous?” An utterance of YHWH of Hosts.

7 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the sunrise and from the land of the going in of the sun.

8 And I will bring them in, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and they will be unto Me as a people, and I will be unto them God, in truth and in righteousness.”
