Zechariah 8:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Before the work was started again, there was no pay for the people. And there was no money to rent 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 these things to those who are still left alive here.
