Chapter 8

Seven Oracles: Judah and Zion Restored. 1 Then the word of the Lord of hosts came: 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts:

I am intensely jealous for Zion,(A)
    stirred to jealous wrath for her.

3 Thus says the Lord:

I have returned to Zion,
    and I will dwell within Jerusalem;
Jerusalem will be called the faithful city,[a](B)
    and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain.
