12 ‘For(A) the [a]seed shall be prosperous,
The vine shall give its fruit,
(B)The ground shall give her increase,
And (C)the heavens shall give their dew—
I will cause the remnant of this people
To possess all these.
13 And it shall come to pass
That just as you were (D)a curse among the nations,
O house of Judah and house of Israel,
So I will save you, and (E)you shall be a blessing.
Do not fear,
Let your hands be strong.’

14 “For thus says the Lord of hosts:

(F)‘Just as I determined to [b]punish you
When your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
(G)‘And I would not relent,
15 So again in these days
I am determined to do good
To Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Do not fear.
