Zechariah 8:4-8
4The Lord of armies says this: ‘1Old men and old women will again sit in the public squares of Jerusalem, each person with his staff in his hand because of 2age. 5And the public squares of the city will be filled with 3boys and girls playing in its squares.’ 6The Lord of armies says this: ‘If it is 4too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be 5too 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 67east and from the land of the 8west; 8and I will 9bring them back and they will 10live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be 11My people, and I will be their God in 12truth and righteousness.’
