Zechariah 8:3-8

3The Lord says this: ‘I will return to Zion and 1dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of 2Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of armies will be called the Holy Mountain.’ 4The Lord of armies says this: ‘3Old men and old women will again sit in the public squares of Jerusalem, each person with his staff in his hand because of 4age. 5And the public squares of the city will be filled with 5boys and girls playing in its squares.’ 6The Lord of armies says this: ‘If it is 6too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be 7too 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 89east and from the land of the 10west; 8and I will 11bring them back and they will 12live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be 13My people, and I will be their God in 14truth and righteousness.’
