1. Again the Devar Hashem Tzva'os came to me, saying,
2. Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os; I am jealous for Tziyon with kina gedolah (great jealousy) and I am jealous for her with chemah gedolah (great fury).
3. Thus saith Hashem: I will return unto Tziyon, and will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim; and Yerushalayim shall be called Ir HaEmes; and Har Hashem Tzva'os, Har HaKodesh.
4. Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Zekenim and zekenot shall yet dwell in the rechovot of Yerushalayim, and every man with his staff in his hand me'rov yamim (because of many days, i.e., old age).
5. And the rechovot of the city shall be full of yeladim and yeladot playing in the rechovot thereof.
6. Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the she'erit HaAm HaZeh in those days, should it also be marvellous in Mine eyes? saith Hashem Tzva'os.
7. Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Hineni, I will save My people from the eretz mizrach (land of the east), and from the eretz of the setting sun;
8. And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim; and they shall be My people, and I will be their G-d, in emes and in tzedakah.
