Zechariah 8:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 8:7

5 The streets of the city
Shall be ^afull of boys and girls
Playing in its streets.’

6 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘If it is¹ marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days,
^aWill it also be marvelous in My eyes?’
Says the Lord of hosts.

7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, ^aI will save My people from the land of the¹ east
And from the land of the¹ west;

8 I will ^abring them back,
And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
^bThey shall be My people
And I will be their God,
^cIn truth and righteousness.’

9 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
^a‘Let your hands be strong,
You who have been hearing in these days
These words by the mouth of ^bthe prophets,
Who spoke in ^cthe day the foundation was laid
For the house of the Lord of hosts,
That the temple might be built.

10 For before these days
There were no ^awages for man nor any hire for beast;
There was no peace from the enemy for whoever went out or came in;
For I set all men, everyone, against his neighbor.

11 ^aBut now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ says the Lord of hosts.
