Zechariah 2:7-9

Good News Translation

The Exiles Are Called to Come Home

^6-7 The Lord said to his people, “I scattered you in all directions. But now, you exiles, escape from Babylonia and return to Jerusalem. ⁸ Anyone who strikes you strikes what is most precious to me.”

So the Lord Almighty^[a] sent me with this message for the nations that had plundered his people: ⁹ “The Lord himself will fight against you, and you will be plundered by the people who were once your servants.”

When this happens, everyone will know that the Lord Almighty sent me.
