Zechariah 8:3-8
New King James Version
3 “Thus says the Lord:
(A)‘I will return to Zion,
And (B)dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem (C)shall be called the City of Truth,
(D)The Mountain of the Lord of hosts,
(E)The Holy Mountain.’
4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(F)‘Old men and old women shall again sit
In the streets of Jerusalem,
Each one with his staff in his hand
Because of [a]great age.
5 The streets of the city
Shall be (G)full of boys and girls
Playing in its streets.’
6 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘If it is [b]marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days,
(H)Will it also be marvelous in My eyes?’
Says the Lord of hosts.
7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, (I)I will save My people from the land of the [c]east
And from the land of the [d]west;
8 I will (J)bring them back,
And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
(K)They shall be My people
And I will be their God,
(L)In truth and righteousness.’
