Zechariah 8:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Another message came to me from the Lord who rules over all. He said,
2 "I am very jealous for my people in Zion. In fact, I am burning with jealousy for them."
3 He continued, "I will return to Zion. I will live among my people in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called The City of Truth. And my mountain will be called The Holy Mountain."
4 He continued, "Once again old men and women will sit in the streets of Jerusalem. All of them will be using canes because they are old.
5 The city streets will be filled with boys and girls. They will be playing there."
6 He continued, "All of that might seem wonderful to the people who are living at that time. But it will not seem wonderful to me."
7 He continued, "I will save my people. I will gather them from the countries of the east and the west.
8 I will bring them back to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people. I will be their faithful God. I will keep my promises to them."
9 The Lord who rules over all says to his people, "Listen to the words that were spoken by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. They spoke to you when the work on my temple started up again. Let your hands be strong so that you can rebuild the temple.
10 "Before the work was started again, there was no pay for the people or food for the animals. People could not go about their business safely because of their enemies. I had turned all of them against one another.
11 But now I will not punish you who are living at this time. I will not treat you as I treated your people before you," announces the Lord who rules over all.
12 "Your seeds will grow well. Your vines will bear fruit. The ground will produce crops for you. And the heavens will drop their dew on your land. I will give all of those things to those who are still left alive here.
13 "Judah and Israel, in the past the nations called down curses on you. But now I will save you. You will be a blessing to others. Do not be afraid. Let your hands be strong so that you can do my work."
14 The Lord who rules over all says, "Years ago your people made me angry. So I decided to bring trouble on them. I did not show them any pity.
15 But now I plan to do good things to Jerusalem and Judah again. So do not be afraid.
16 "Here is what you must do. Speak the truth to one another. Make true and wise decisions in your courts.
17 Do not make evil plans against your neighbors. When you take an oath to tell the truth, do not lie. Many people love to do that. But I hate all of those things," announces the Lord.
18 Another message came to me from the Lord who rules over all. He said,
19 "You have established special times to go without eating. They are your fasts in the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months. They will become days of joy. They will be happy times for Judah. It will happen if you take delight in telling the truth and bringing about peace."
20 He continued, "Many nations will still come to you. And those who live in many cities will also come.
21 The people who live in one city will go to another city. They will say, 'Let's go right away to ask the Lord to show us his favor. Let's look to him as our God. We ourselves are going.'
22 Large numbers of people and nations will come to Jerusalem. They will look to me. They will ask me to show them my favor."
23 He continued, "At that time many men from all nations and languages will take hold of one Jew. They will grab hold of the hem of his robe. And they will say, 'We want to go to Jerusalem with you. We've heard that God is with you.' "
1 Again the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 came H1961 W-VQY3MS to me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; I was jealous H7065 for Zion H6726 with great H1419 AFS jealousy H7068 , and I was jealous H7065 for her with great H1419 AFS fury H2534 .

4 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; There shall yet H5750 ADV old men H2205 AMP and old women H2205 dwell H3427 in the streets H7339 of Jerusalem H3389 , and every man H376 W-NMS with his staff H4938 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS for very H7230 M-NMS age H3117 NMP .
5 And the streets H7339 of the city H5892 D-GFS shall be full H4390 of boys H3206 and girls H3207 playing H7832 in the streets H7339 thereof .
6 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; If H3588 CONJ it be marvelous H6381 in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the remnant H7611 of this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 in these H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP , should it also H1571 CONJ be marvelous H6381 in mine eyes H5869 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
7 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; Behold H2009 , I will save H3467 my people H5971 from the east H4217 country H776 M-NFS , and from the west H3996 country H776 ;
8 And I will bring H935 them , and they shall dwell H7931 in the midst H8432 B-NMS of Jerusalem H3389 : and they shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS my people H5971 , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will be H1961 VQY1MS their God H430 L-NMP , in truth H571 and in righteousness H6666 .
9 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; Let your hands H3027 be strong H2388 , ye that hear H8085 in these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 B-NMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP by the mouth H6310 M-CMS of the prophets H5030 , which H834 RPRO were in the day H3117 B-NMS that the foundation of the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 was laid H3245 , that the temple H1964 might be built H1129 .
10 For H3588 CONJ before H6440 L-CMP these H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 D-NMP there was H1961 no H3808 NADV hire H7939 for man H120 D-NMS , nor H369 NPAR-3FS any hire H7939 for beast H929 D-NFS ; neither H369 NPAR was there any peace H7965 NMS to him that went out H3318 or came in H935 because of H4480 PREP the affliction H6862 : for I set H7971 all H3605 NMS men H120 D-NMS every one H376 NMS against his neighbor H7453 .
11 But now H6258 W-ADV I H589 PPRO-1MS will not H3808 NADV be unto the residue H7611 of this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 as in the former H7223 days H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
12 For H3588 CONJ the seed H2233 NMS shall be prosperous H7965 ; the vine H1612 shall give H5414 VQY2MS her fruit H6529 , and the ground H776 WD-GFS shall give H5414 VQY2MS her increase H2981 , and the heavens H8064 shall give H5414 their dew H2919 ; and I will cause the remnant H7611 of this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 to possess H5157 all H3605 NMS these H428 DPRO things .
13 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that as H834 K-RPRO ye were H1961 W-VQQ3MS a curse H7045 among the heathen H1471 , O house H1004 W-NMS of Judah H3063 , and house H1004 W-NMS of Israel H3478 ; so H3651 ADV will I save H3467 you , and ye shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS a blessing H1293 : fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , but let your hands H3027 be strong H2388 .
14 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; As H834 K-RPRO I thought H2161 to punish H7489 you , when your fathers H1 provoked me to wrath H7107 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , and I repented H5162 not H3808 W-NPAR :
15 So H3651 ADV again H7725 have I thought H2161 in these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP to do well H3190 unto Jerusalem H3389 and to the house H1004 CMS of Judah H3063 : fear H3372 ye not H408 NPAR .
16 These H428 PMP are the things H1697 AMP that H834 RPRO ye shall do H6213 ; Speak H1696 ye every man H376 NMS the truth H571 CFS to H854 PREP his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS ; execute H8199 the judgment H4941 W-CMS of truth H571 CFS and peace H7965 NMS in your gates H8179 :
17 And let none H408 ADV of you imagine H2803 evil H7451 CFS in your hearts H3824 against his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS ; and love H157 no H408 ADV false H8267 NMS oath H7621 : for CONJ all H3605 NMS these H428 PMP are things that H834 RPRO I hate H8130 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
18 And the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
19 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; The fast H6685 NMS of the fourth H7243 month , and the fast H6685 of the fifth H2549 , and the fast H6685 of the seventh H7637 D-ONUM , and the fast H6685 of the tenth H6224 , shall be H1961 VQY3MS 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 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; It shall yet H5750 ADV come to pass , that H834 RPRO there shall come H935 VQY3MP people H5971 NMP , and the inhabitants H3427 of many H7227 cities H5892 GFP :

22 Yea , many H7227 AMP people H5971 NMP and strong H6099 nations H1471 shall come H935 to seek H1245 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 in Jerusalem H3389 , and to pray H2470 before H6440 CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
23 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; In those H1992 days H3117 BD-NMP it shall come to pass , that H834 RPRO ten H6235 men H376 NMS shall take hold H2388 out of all H3605 M-CMS languages H3956 of the nations H1471 D-NMP , even shall take hold H2388 of the skirt H3671 of him H376 NMS that is a Jew H3064 , saying H559 L-VQFC , We will go H1980 with H5973 PREP-3MP you : for H3588 CONJ we have heard H8085 VQQ1MP that God H430 EDP is with H5973 you .
