Zechariah 8:11-23

8:11

But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue
<07611>

of this people
<05971>

as in the former
<07223>

days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

8:12

For the seed
<02233>

[shall be] prosperous
<07965>_;

the vine
<01612>

shall give
<05414> (8799)

her fruit
<06529>_,

and the ground
<0776>

shall give
<05414> (8799)

her increase
<02981>_,

and the heavens
<08064>

shall give
<05414> (8799)

their dew
<02919>_;

and I will cause the remnant
<07611>

of this people
<05971>

to possess
<05157> (8689)

all these [things]. {prosperous: Heb. of peace}

8:13

And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse
<07045>

among the heathen
<01471>_,

O house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

so will I save
<03467> (8686)

you, and ye shall be a blessing
<01293>_:

fear
<03372> (8799)

not, [but] let your hands
<03027>

be strong
<02388> (8799)_.

8:14

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

As I thought
<02161> (8804)

to punish
<07489> (8687)

you, when your fathers
<01>

provoked me to wrath
<07107> (8687)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and I repented
<05162> (8738)

not:

8:15

So again
<07725> (8804)

have I thought
<02161> (8804)

in these days
<03117>

to do well
<03190> (8687)

unto Jerusalem
<03389>

and to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_:

fear
<03372> (8799)

ye not.

8:16

These [are] the things
<01697>

that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_;

Speak
<01696> (8761)

ye every man
<0376>

the truth
<0571>

to his neighbour
<07453>_;

execute
<08199> (8798)

the judgment
<04941>

of truth
<0571>

and peace
<07965>

in your gates
<08179>_:

{execute...: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}

8:17

And let none
<0376>

of you imagine
<02803> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in your hearts
<03824>

against his neighbour
<07453>_;

and love
<0157> (8799)

no false
<08267>

oath
<07621>_:

for all these [are things] that I hate
<08130> (8804)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

8:18

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:19

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

The fast
<06685>

of the fourth
<07243>

[month], and the fast
<06685>

of the fifth
<02549>_,

and the fast
<06685>

of the seventh
<07637>_,

and the fast
<06685>

of the tenth
<06224>_,

shall be to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

joy
<08342>

and gladness
<08057>_,

and cheerful
<02896>

feasts
<04150>_;

therefore love
<0157> (8798)

the truth
<0571>

and peace
<07965>_.

{feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}

8:20

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

[It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come
<0935> (8799)

people
<05971>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of many
<07227>

cities
<05892>_:

8:21

And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of one
<0259>

[city] shall go
<01980> (8804)

to another
<0259>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let us go
<03212> (8799)

speedily
<01980> (8800)

to pray
<02470> (8763)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_:

I will go
<03212> (8799)

also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray...: Heb. to intreat the face of}

8:22

Yea, many
<07227>

people
<05971>

and strong
<06099>

nations
<01471>

shall come
<0935> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to pray
<02470> (8763)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

{to pray...: Heb. to intreat the face of}

8:23

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

In those days
<03117>

[it shall come to pass], that ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

shall take hold
<02388> (8686)

out of all languages
<03956>

of the nations
<01471>_,

even shall take hold
<02388> (8689)

of the skirt
<03671>

of him that is a Jew
<0376> <03064>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We will go
<03212> (8799)

with you: for we have heard
<08085> (8804)

[that] God
<0430>

[is] with you.
