The word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

This is what the Lord of hosts says: My heart is extremely hot for Zion. I am hot for her and angry with her enemies.

Thus says the Lord, I am now returning to Zion and will dwell in Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be called a city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts will be called a holy mountain.

The Lord of hosts has said, “In the future, there will be elderly men and women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem.”. Because of old age, he holds a cane in his hand.

The streets in the city will be filled with boys and girls playing.

This is what the Lord of hosts says: On that day, will this matter be marvelous in the eyes of the remaining people, and will it also be marvelous in my eyes? This is what the Lord of armies has said.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, I will rescue my people from the east and from the west.

I will bring them and make them dwell in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, all in truth and righteousness.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, Build the house of the Lord of hosts, and strengthen your hands when you hear the words spoken by the prophets on the day of the foundation.

Before that day, people did not receive wages, and so did livestock. And due to the enemy’s reasons, those who enter and exit will not be safe. Because I caused everyone to attack each other.

But now, I will not treat the remaining people like before. This is what the Lord of armies has said.

Because they will sow in peace. The vine will bear fruit, the earth will yield, and the heavens will bring dew. I will make these remaining people enjoy all these blessings.

O house of Judah and the house of Israel, just as you were cursed among the nations, so I will save you, so that you may be called blessed. Do not be afraid, let your hands be strong.

This is what the Lord of hosts says: When your ancestors provoked me to anger, I did not regret how I determined to bring disaster.

Now I have determined to show kindness to Jerusalem and the house of Judah, so do not be afraid.

This is what you should do: speak truthfully to your neighbors, judge rightfully at the entrance of the city, and bring peace.

No one shall conspire against their neighbors in their hearts, nor shall they love to swear falsely. Because these things are all hated by me. This is what the Lord has said.

The word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

Thus says the Lord of hosts: The days of fasting in the fourth month and fifth month, and fasting in the seventh month and tenth month, shall become a day of joy and joy for the people of Judah, and a season of joy. So you must love honesty and peace.

This is what the Lord of hosts says: In the future, nations and the inhabitants of many cities will come.

The inhabitants of this city will come to that city, saying, Let us quickly go and plead for the grace of the Lord, and seek the Lord of hosts. I’m going too.

And nations and strong nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of hosts. Pray for the grace of the Lord.

This is what the Lord of hosts says: In those days, ten people will come out from among the nations and tribes, taking hold of the collar of a Jew and saying, ‘We will go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’.
