Zechariah 8:7-13

7Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country;

8and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their 1God, in truth and in righteousness.

9Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

10For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; and there was no peace for him that went out or that came in, because of the distress: for I let loose all men, every one against his neighbour.

11But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts;

12for the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].

13And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong.
