Zechariah 8:2-8

2“The Lord of armies says this: ‘I am 1exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’ 3The Lord says this: ‘I will return to Zion and 2dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of 3Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of armies will be called the Holy Mountain.’ 4The Lord of armies says this: ‘4Old men and old women will again sit in the public squares of Jerusalem, each person with his staff in his hand because of 5age. 5And the public squares of the city will be filled with 6boys and girls playing in its squares.’ 6The Lord of armies says this: ‘If it is 7too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be 8too difficult in My sight?’ declares the Lord of armies. 7The Lord of armies says this: ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the 910east and from the land of the 11west; 8and I will 12bring them back and they will 13live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be 14My people, and I will be their God in 15truth and righteousness.’
