Zechariah 8:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ I will bring them back, and they will live in Jerusalem.
They will be my people, and I will be their God, who is faithful and just.

Be strong so that the temple might be rebuilt,
you people who are presently listening
to the words from the mouths of the prophets
who spoke when the foundation
for the house of the Lord of Armies was laid.
¹⁰ Before that time there was no money to hire any person or animal.
No one who traveled was safe from the enemy.
I turned every person against his neighbor.
