Zechariah 8:9-13

9“The Lord of armies says this: ‘Let your hands be 1strong, you who are listening in these days to these words from the mouth of the 2prophets, those who spoke in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of armies was laid, so that the temple might be built. 10For before those days there was 3no wage for man nor any wage for animal; and for him who went out or came in there was no 45peace because of 6his enemies, and I 7sent all the people against one another. 11But now I will 8not 9treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ declares the Lord of armies. 12‘For there will be 10the seed of peace: the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce, and the heavens will provide their 11dew; and I will give to the remnant of this people 12all these things as an inheritance. 13And it will come about that just as you were a 13curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a 14blessing. Do not fear; let your 15hands be strong.’
