Zacharie 8

1And the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 came to me, saying^H559, 2Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: I am jealous^H7065 for Zion^H6726 with great^H1419 jealousy^H7068, and I am jealous^H7065 for her with great^H1419 wrath^H2534. 3Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068: I am returned^H7725 unto Zion^H6726, and will dwell^H7931 in the midst^H8432 of Jerusalem^H3389: and Jerusalem^H3389 shall be called^H7121 The city^H5892 of truth^H571; and the mountain^H2022 of Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, The holy^H6944 mountain^H2022. 4Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: There shall yet old men^H2205 and old women^H2205 dwell^H3427 in the streets^H7339 of Jerusalem^H3389, every man^H376 with his staff^H4938 in his hand^H3027 for very^H7230 age^H3117. 5And the streets^H7339 of the city^H5892 shall be full^H4390 of boys^H3206 and girls^H3207 playing^H7832 in the streets^H7339 thereof. 6Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: If it be marvellous^H6381 in the eyes^H5869 of the remnant^H7611 of this people^H5971 in those days^H3117, should it also be marvellous^H6381 in mine eyes^H5869? saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 7Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: Behold, I will save^H3467 my people^H5971 from the east^H4217 country^H776, and from the west^H3996 country^H776; 8and I will bring^H935 them, and they shall dwell^H7931 in the midst^H8432 of Jerusalem^H3389; and they shall be my people^H5971, and I will be their God^H430, in truth^H571 and in righteousness^H6666. 9Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: Let your hands^H3027 be strong^H2388, ye that hear^H8085 in these days^H3117 these words^H1697 from the mouth^H6310 of the prophets^H5030 that were in the day^H3117 that the foundation^H3245 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 was laid^H3245, even the temple^H1964, that it might be built^H1129. 10For before^H6440 those days^H3117 there was^H1961 no hire^H7939 for man^H120, nor any hire^H7939 for beast^H929; neither was there any peace^H7965 to him that went out^H3318 or came in^H935, because of the adversary^H6862: for I set^H7971 all men^H120 every one^H376 against his neighbor^H7453. 11But now I will not be unto the remnant^H7611 of this people^H5971 as in the former^H7223 days^H3117, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 12For there shall be the seed^H2233 of peace^H7965; the vine^H1612 shall give^H5414 its fruit^H6529, and the ground^H776 shall give^H5414 its increase^H2981, and the heavens^H8064 shall give^H5414 their dew^H2919; and I will cause the remnant^H7611 of this people^H5971 to inherit^H5157 all these things. 13And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse^H7045 among the nations^H1471, O house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 and house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, so will I save^H3467 you, and ye shall be a blessing^H1293. Fear^H3372 not, but let your hands^H3027 be strong^H2388. 14For thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: As I thought^H2161 to do evil^H7489 unto you, when your fathers^H1 provoked me to wrath^H7107, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and I repented^H5162 not; 15so again^H7725 have I thought^H2161 in these days^H3117 to do good^H3190 unto Jerusalem^H3389 and to the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063: fear^H3372 ye not. 16These are the things^H1697 that ye shall do^H6213: speak^H1696 ye every man^H376 the truth^H571 with his neighbor^H7453; execute^H8199 the judgment^H4941 of truth^H571 and peace^H7965 in your gates^H8179; 17and let none^H376 of you devise^H2803 evil^H7451 in your hearts^H3824 against his neighbor^H7453; and love^H157 no false^H8267 oath^H7621: for all these are things that I hate^H8130, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 18And the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 came unto me, saying^H559, 19Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: The fast^H6685 of the fourth^H7243 month, and the fast^H6685 of the fifth^H2549, and the fast^H6685 of the seventh^H7637, and the fast^H6685 of the tenth^H6224, shall be to the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 joy^H8342 and gladness^H8057, and cheerful^H2896 feasts^H4150; therefore love^H157 truth^H571 and peace^H7965. 20Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come^H935 peoples^H5971, and the inhabitants^H3427 of many^H7227 cities^H5892; 21and the inhabitants^H3427 of one^H259 city shall go^H1980 to another^H259, saying^H559, Let us go^H3212 speedily^H1980 to entreat^H2470 the favor^H6440 of Jehovah^H3068, and to seek^H1245 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: I will go^H3212 also. 22Yea, many^H7227 peoples^H5971 and strong^H6099 nations^H1471 shall come^H935 to seek^H1245 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 in Jerusalem^H3389, and to entreat^H2470 the favor^H6440 of Jehovah^H3068. 23Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635: In those days^H3117 it shall come to pass, that ten^H6235 men^H582 shall take hold^H2388, out of all the languages^H3956 of the nations^H1471, they shall take hold^H2388 of the skirt^H3671 of him that is a Jew^H376, saying^H559, We will go^H3212 with you, for we have heard^H8085 that God^H430 is with you.
