Zechariah 8:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ People of Judah and Israel, you have been a curse to the nations, but I will save you and make you a blessing to them. So don't be afraid or lose courage.

¹⁴ When your ancestors made me angry, I decided to punish you with disasters, and I didn't hold back. ¹⁵ Now you no longer need to be afraid. I have decided to treat Jerusalem and Judah with kindness.
