Expanded Bible

The Lord Will Bless Jerusalem

8 ·A message from [^LThe word of] the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] came to me, saying, ² This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says: “I ·have a very strong love [am jealous/zealous/passionate] for ·Jerusalem [^LZion; 2:7]. My strong love [jealousy; zeal; passion] for her ·is like a fire burning in me [or will mean wrath for her enemies].”

³ This is what the Lord says: “I will return to Jerusalem and ·live in [dwell in the midst of] it. Then it will be called the City of ·Truth [or Faithfulness], and the mountain of the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] will be called the Holy Mountain [^CZion, the location of the Temple].”
