Zechariah 8:2-8

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^aI am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. 3 Thus says the Lord: ^bI have returned to Zion and ^cwill dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, ^dand Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, ^eand the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^fOld men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 6 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^gIf it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, ^hshould it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? 7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, ⁱI will save my people ^jfrom the east country and from the west country, 8 and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. ^kAnd they shall be my people, and I will be their God, ^lin faithfulness and in righteousness.”
