Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came to me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I was jealousH7065 for ZionH6726 with greatH1419 jealousyH7068, and I was jealousH7065 for her with greatH1419 furyH2534.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 unto ZionH6726, and will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and JerusalemH3389 shall be calledH7121 a cityH5892 of truthH571; and the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 the holyH6944 mountainH2022.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; There shall yet old menH2205 and old womenH2205 dwellH3427 in the streetsH7339 of JerusalemH3389, and every manH376 with his staffH4938 in his handH3027 for veryH7230 ageH3117. {very…: Heb. multitude of days}
And the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892 shall be fullH4390 of boysH3206 and girlsH3207 playingH7832 in the streetsH7339 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If it be marvellousH6381 in the eyesH5869 of the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 in these daysH3117, should it also be marvellousH6381 in mine eyesH5869? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {marvellous: or, hard, or, difficult}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 from the eastH4217 countryH776, and from the westH3996+H8121 countryH776; {the west…: Heb. the country of the going down of the sun}
And I will bringH935 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430, in truthH571 and in righteousnessH6666.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, which were in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129.
For beforeH6440 these daysH3117 there wasH1961 no hireH7939 for manH120, nor any hireH7939 for beastH929; neither was there any peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318 or came inH935 because of the afflictionH6862: for I setH7971 all menH120 every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453. {there was…: or, the hire of man became nothing}
But now I will not be unto the residueH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
For the seedH2233 shall be prosperousH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 her fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 her increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these things. {prosperous: Heb. of peace}
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curseH7045 among the heathenH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 not, but let your handsH3027 be strongH2388.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; As I thoughtH2161 to punishH7489 you, when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrathH7107, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I repentedH5162 not:
So againH7725 have I thoughtH2161 in these daysH3117 to do wellH3190 unto JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not.
These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179: {execute…: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}
And let noneH376 of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbourH7453; and loveH157 no falseH8267 oathH7621: for all these are things that I hateH8130, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall comeH935 peopleH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892:
And the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to anotherH259, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 speedilyH1980 to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: I will goH3212 also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
