Zechariah 8:3-8
8:3 The Lord says, ‘I have returned to Zion and will live within Jerusalem.
Now Jerusalem will be called “truthful city,” “mountain of the
Lord who rules over all,” “holy mountain.”’
8:4 Moreover, the
Lord who rules over all says, ‘Old men and women will once more live in the plazas of Jerusalem, each one leaning on a cane because of advanced age.
8:5 And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing.
8:6 And,’ says the
Lord who rules over all, ‘though such a thing may seem to be difficult in the opinion of the small community of those days, will it also appear difficult to me?’ asks the
Lord who rules over all.
8:7 “The Lord who rules over all asserts, ‘I am about to save my people from the lands of the east and the west.
8:8 And I will bring them to settle within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.’
