Zechariah 8:9-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁹ ¶ Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, from the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of the hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

¹⁰ For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men each one against his neighbour.

¹¹ But now I will not do unto the residue of this people as in the former days, said the LORD of the hosts.
