¹¹ But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days,’^[a] declares^[b] Yahweh of hosts. ¹² ‘For there will be a sowing of peace; the vine will give its fruit, and the soil will give its produce, and the heavens will give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things. ¹³ And then,^[c] just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. You must not be afraid; let your hands be strong!’”
