Zechariah 8:11-13
New Century Version
11 But I will not do to these people who are left what I did in the past,” says the Lord All-Powerful.
12 “They will plant their seeds in peace, their grapevines will have fruit, the ground will give good crops, and the sky will send rain. I will give all this to the people who are left alive. 13 Judah and Israel, your names have been used as curses in other nations. But I will save you, and you will become a blessing. So don’t be afraid; work hard.”
