The vine shall give its fruit,
bThe ground shall give her increase,
And cthe heavens shall give their dew—
I will cause the remnant of this people
To possess all these.
That just as you were aa curse among the nations,
O house of Judah and house of Israel,
So I will save you, and byou shall be a blessing.
Do not fear,
Let your hands be strong.’
a‘Just as I determined to1 punish you
When your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
b‘And I would not relent,
I am determined to do good
To Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Do not fear.
bSpeak each man the truth to his neighbor;
Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace;
And do not love a false oath.
For all these are things that I hate,’
Says the Lord.”
a‘The fast of the fourth month,
bThe fast of the fifth,
cThe fast of the seventh,
dAnd the fast of the tenth,
Shall be ejoy and gladness and cheerful feasts
For the house of Judah.
fTherefore love truth and peace.’
a“Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord,
And seek the Lord of hosts.
I myself will go also.”
