Zechariah 2:8-13

English Standard Version

⁸ For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me^[a] to the nations who plundered you, ^(A)for he who touches you touches ^(B)the apple of his eye: ⁹ “Behold, ^(C)I will shake my hand over them, ^(D)and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then ^(E)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. ^10 (F)Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for ^(G)behold, I come ^(H)and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. ^11 (I)And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. ^(J)And I will dwell in your midst, and ^(K)you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. ^12 (L)And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again ^(M)choose Jerusalem.”

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
