KJV_Strong : Zechariah 8
1. Again the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] came[H1961] to me, saying,[H559]
2. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] I was jealous[H7065] for Zion[H6726] with great[H1419] jealousy,[H7068] and I was jealous[H7065] for her with great[H1419] fury.[H2534]
3. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD;[H3068] I am returned[H7725] unto[H413] Zion,[H6726] and will dwell[H7931] in the midst[H8432] of Jerusalem:[H3389] and Jerusalem[H3389] shall be called[H7121] a city[H5892] of truth;[H571] and the mountain[H2022] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] the holy[H6944] mountain.[H2022]
4. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] There shall yet[H5750] old men[H2205] and old women[H2205] dwell[H3427] in the streets[H7339] of Jerusalem,[H3389] and every man[H376] with his staff[H4938] in his hand[H3027] for very[H4480] [H7230] age.[H3117]
5. And the streets[H7339] of the city[H5892] shall be full[H4390] of boys[H3206] and girls[H3207] playing[H7832] in the streets[H7339] thereof.
6. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] If[H3588] it be marvelous[H6381] in the eyes[H5869] of the remnant[H7611] of this[H2088] people[H5971] in these[H1992] days,[H3117] should it also[H1571] be marvelous[H6381] in mine eyes?[H5869] saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068] of hosts.[H6635]
7. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] Behold,[H2009] I will save[H3467] [H853] my people[H5971] from the east[H4217] country,[H4480] [H776] and from the west[H3996] [H8121] country;[H4480] [H776]
8. And I will bring[H935] them, and they shall dwell[H7931] in the midst[H8432] of Jerusalem:[H3389] and they shall be[H1961] my people,[H5971] and I[H589] will be[H1961] their God,[H430] in truth[H571] and in righteousness.[H6666]
9. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] Let your hands[H3027] be strong,[H2388] ye that hear[H8085] in these[H428] days[H3117] [H853] these[H428] words[H1697] by the mouth[H4480] [H6310] of the prophets,[H5030] which[H834] were in the day[H3117] that the foundation of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] was laid,[H3245] that the temple[H1964] might be built.[H1129]
10. For[H3588] before[H6440] these[H1992] days[H3117] there was[H1961] no[H3808] hire[H7939] for man,[H120] nor[H369] any hire[H7939] for beast;[H929] neither[H369] was there any peace[H7965] to him that went out[H3318] or came in[H935] because of[H4480] the affliction:[H6862] for I set[H7971] [H853] all[H3605] men[H120] every one[H376] against his neighbor.[H7453]
11. But now[H6258] I[H589] will not[H3808] be unto the residue[H7611] of this[H2088] people[H5971] as in the former[H7223] days,[H3117] saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068] of hosts.[H6635]
12. For[H3588] the seed[H2233] shall be prosperous;[H7965] the vine[H1612] shall give[H5414] her fruit,[H6529] and the ground[H776] shall give[H5414] [H853] her increase,[H2981] and the heavens[H8064] shall give[H5414] their dew;[H2919] and I will cause[H853] the remnant[H7611] of this[H2088] people[H5971] to possess[H5157] [H853] all[H3605] these[H428] things.
13. And it shall come to pass,[H1961] that as[H834] ye were[H1961] a curse[H7045] among the heathen,[H1471] O house[H1004] of Judah,[H3063] and house[H1004] of Israel;[H3478] so[H3651] will I save[H3467] you, and ye shall be[H1961] a blessing:[H1293] fear[H3372] not,[H408] but let your hands[H3027] be strong.[H2388]
14. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] As[H834] I thought[H2161] to punish[H7489] you, when your fathers[H1] provoked me to wrath,[H7107] [H853] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] and I repented[H5162] not: [H3808]
15. So[H3651] again[H7725] have I thought[H2161] in these[H428] days[H3117] to do well[H3190] unto[H853] Jerusalem[H3389] and to the house[H1004] of Judah:[H3063] fear[H3372] ye not.[H408]
16. These[H428] are the things[H1697] that[H834] ye shall do;[H6213] Speak[H1696] ye every man[H376] the truth[H571] to[H854] his neighbor;[H7453] execute[H8199] the judgment[H4941] of truth[H571] and peace[H7965] in your gates: [H8179]
17. And let none[H408] [H376] of you imagine[H2803] [H853] evil[H7451] in your hearts[H3824] against his neighbor;[H7453] and love[H157] no[H408] false[H8267] oath:[H7621] for[H3588] [H853] all[H3605] these[H428] are things that[H834] I hate,[H8130] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]
18. And the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] came[H1961] unto[H413] me, saying,[H559]
19. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] The fast[H6685] of the fourth[H7243] month, and the fast[H6685] of the fifth,[H2549] and the fast[H6685] of the seventh,[H7637] and the fast[H6685] of the tenth,[H6224] shall be[H1961] to the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063] joy[H8342] and gladness,[H8057] and cheerful[H2896] feasts;[H4150] therefore love[H157] the truth[H571] and peace.[H7965]
20. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] It shall yet[H5750] come to pass, that[H834] there shall come[H935] people,[H5971] and the inhabitants[H3427] of many[H7227] cities: [H5892]
21. And the inhabitants[H3427] of one[H259] city shall go[H1980] to[H413] another,[H259] saying,[H559] Let us go speedily[H1980] [H1980] to pray[H2470] [H853] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] and to seek[H1245] [H853] the LORD[H3068] of hosts:[H6635] I[H589] will go[H1980] also.[H1571]
22. Yea, many[H7227] people[H5971] and strong[H6099] nations[H1471] shall come[H935] to seek[H1245] [H853] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] in Jerusalem,[H3389] and to pray[H2470] [H853] before[H6440] the LORD.[H3068]
23. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] In those[H1992] days[H3117] it shall come to pass, that[H834] ten[H6235] men[H376] shall take hold[H2388] out of all[H4480] [H3605] languages[H3956] of the nations,[H1471] even shall take hold[H2388] of the skirt[H3671] of him[H376] that is a Jew,[H3064] saying,[H559] We will go[H1980] with[H5973] you: for[H3588] we have heard[H8085] that God[H430] is with[H5973] you.
