Revised Version 1895
Zechariah 8:3-13
3ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: I am returnedH7725 unto ZionH6726, and will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and JerusalemH3389 shall be calledH7121 The cityH5892 of truthH571; and the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 The holyH6944 mountainH2022.
4ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: There shall yet oldH2205 menH376 and oldH2205 womenH2205 dwellH3427 in the streetsH7339 of JerusalemH3389, everyH376 manH376 with his staffH4938 in his handH3027 for very ageH3117.
5And the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892 shall be fullH4390 of boysH3206 and girlsH3207 playingH7832 in the streetsH7339 thereof.
6ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: IfH3588 it be marvelousH6381 in the eyesH5869 of the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 in thoseH1992 daysH3117, should it also be marvelousH6381 in mine eyesH5869? saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
7ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: BeholdH2005, I will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 from the eastH4217 countryH776, and from the westH3996 countryH776:
8and I will bringH935 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389; and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430, in truthH571 and in righteousnessH6666.
9ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in theseH428 daysH3117 theseH428 wordsH1697 from the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, whichH834 were in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, evenH853 the templeH1004, that it might be builtH1129.
10For beforeH6440 thoseH3605 daysH3117 there was noH3808 hireH7939 for manH376, norH3808 anyH3605 hireH7939 for beastH929; neitherH3808 was there anyH3605 peaceH7965 to him that wentH3318 outH3318 or cameH935 in becauseH3588 of the adversary: for I setH7971 allH3605 menH376 everyH3605 one againstH4480 his neighbour.
11But nowH6258 I will notH3808 be unto the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
12For there shall be the seedH2233 of peaceH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 herH3605 fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 herH3605 increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will causeH5414 the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to inheritH5157 allH3605 theseH428 things.
13And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 that, as ye were a curseH7045 among the nationsH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, soH3651 will I saveH3467 youH834, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 notH408, but letH408 your handsH3027 be strongH2388.
