Zechariah 8:9-15

9Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, which were in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 was laidH3245, that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129. 10For beforeH6440 these daysH3117 there wasH1961 no hireH7939 for manH120, nor any hireH7939 for beastH929; neither was there any peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318 or came inH935 because of the afflictionH6862: for I setH7971 all menH120 every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453.1 11But now I will not be unto the residueH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635. 12For the seedH2233 shall be prosperousH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 her fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 her increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these things.2 13And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curseH7045 among the heathenH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 not, but let your handsH3027 be strongH2388. 14For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; As I thoughtH2161 to punishH7489 you, when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrathH7107, saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, and I repentedH5162 not: 15So againH7725 have I thoughtH2161 in these daysH3117 to do wellH3190 unto JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not.
