²⁸ And it shall come to pass that ^(A)as I have watched over them ^(B)to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, ^(C)so I will watch over them ^(D)to build and to plant, declares the Lord.

⁴ For the ^(A)weapons of ^(B)our warfare are not of the flesh but have ^(C)divine power ^(D)to destroy strongholds. ⁵ We destroy arguments and ^(E)every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to ^(F)obey Christ,

³ And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for ^(A)1,260 days, ^(B)clothed in sackcloth.”

⁴ These are ^(C)the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. ⁵ And if anyone would harm them, ^(D)fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, ^(E)this is how he is doomed to be killed. ⁶ They have the power ^(F)to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and ^(G)to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.

^6 (A)I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. ^(B)I will build them up, and not tear them down; ^(C)I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

The Restoration of Israel

³⁶ Then ^(A)the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the Lord; I have rebuilt the ruined places and ^(B)replanted that which was desolate. ^(C)I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.
