1Yo, the word from the Lord of hosts hit me again, saying,

2The Lord of hosts is like, "I’m super jealous for Zion, no cap, and I’m lowkey furious about it."

3The Lord said, "I’m back in Zion, chillin’ in Jerusalem: it’s gonna be called the city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord is the holy mountain."

4The Lord of hosts is saying, "Old folks will still be vibing in the streets of Jerusalem, with their canes, just living their best lives."

5The city’s streets will be lit with boys and girls just playing around, having a blast.

6The Lord of hosts said, "If this seems wild to the remnant of this crew, should it be wild to me too?"

7The Lord of hosts is like, "Check it, I’m saving my peeps from the east and the west."

8I’ll bring them back, and they’ll vibe in Jerusalem: they’ll be my people, and I’ll be their God, for real.

9The Lord of hosts says, "Get strong, you who hear these words from the prophets, back when we laid the foundation for the house of the Lord."

10Before this, there was no hustle for anyone, no peace for those coming or going because it was all chaotic: I had everyone beefing with each other.

11But now, I won’t treat this remnant like I did before, says the Lord of hosts.

12The seed's gonna thrive; the vine will produce fruit, the ground will bless us, and the heavens will drop that dew; I’ll make the remnant possess all this.

13It’ll be like, you were a curse before, but now I’m saving you, House of Judah and Israel; don’t trip, just be strong.

14The Lord of hosts says, "I thought about punishing you when your ancestors made me mad, but I didn’t pull the trigger."

15Now I’m thinking of doing good for Jerusalem and Judah these days: so chill.

16Here’s the deal: Speak truth to your neighbor; keep it real with judgment and peace at your gates.

17Don’t let anyone plot evil in their hearts against their neighbor; no false oaths, ‘cause all that is sus to me, says the Lord.

18The word from the Lord of hosts came to me again, saying,

19The Lord of hosts is like, "The fasts in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months will be joy and feasts for the House of Judah; so love truth and peace."

20The Lord of hosts says, "People are gonna come, and there’ll be peeps from many cities."

21Folks from one city will roll to another, saying, "Let’s dip to pray before the Lord; I’m down too."

22For real, many people and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and pray before Him.

23The Lord of hosts says, "In those days, ten dudes from all languages will grab onto a Jew’s skirt, saying, 'We’re rolling with you, ‘cause we heard God’s with you.'"

1Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

2Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

3Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain.

4Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

5And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

6Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.

7Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

8And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

9Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

10For 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 every one against his neighbour.

11But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.

12For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

13And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

14For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not:

15So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

16These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

17And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.

18And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,

19Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

20Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

21And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.

22Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.

23Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
