New King James Version (NKJV)
Zechariah 7
13 Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen," says the Lord of hosts.
14 "But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate."
Zechariah 8
1 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying,
2 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; With great fervor I am zealous for her.’
3 "Thus says the Lord: ’I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the Lord of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’
4 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’Old men and old women shall again sit In the streets of Jerusalem, Each one with his staff in his hand Because of great age.
5 The streets of the city Shall be full of boys and girls Playing in its streets.’
6 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, Will it also be marvelous in My eyes?’ Says the Lord of hosts.
7 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east And from the land of the west;
8 I will bring them back, And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people And I will be their God, In truth and righteousness.’
9 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: ’Let your hands be strong, You who have been hearing in these days These words by the mouth of the prophets, Who spoke in the day the foundation was laid For the house of the Lord of hosts, That the temple might be built.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
