Zechariah 8:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ Judah and Israel, your names have been used as curses in other nations. But I will save you, and you will become a blessing. So don’t be afraid; work hard.”

¹⁴ This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “When your ancestors made me angry, I planned to punish you. I did not change my mind,” says the Lord All-Powerful. ¹⁵ “But now I will do something different. I am planning to do good to Jerusalem and Judah. So don’t be afraid.
