Zechariah 8:1-8

Zechariah 8:1-8

[1] Again the word  of the LORD  of hosts  came to me, saying,  [2] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  I was jealous  for Zion  with great  jealousy,  and I was jealous  for her with great  fury.  [3] Thus saith  the LORD;  I am returned  unto Zion,  and will dwell  in the midst  of Jerusalem:  shall be called  a city  of truth;  and the mountain  of the LORD  of hosts  the holy  mountain.  [4] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  There shall yet old men  dwell  in the streets  of Jerusalem,  and every man  with his staff  in his hand  for very  age.  [5] And the streets  of the city  shall be full  of boys  and girls  playing  in the streets  thereof. [6] Thus saith  of hosts;  If it be marvellous  in the eyes  of the remnant  of this people  in these days,  should it also be marvellous  in mine eyes?  saith  of hosts.  [7] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  Behold, I will save  my people  from the east  country,  and from the west  country;  [8] And I will bring  them, and they shall dwell  in the midst  of Jerusalem:  and they shall be my people,  and I will be their God,  in truth  and in righteousness.
