2These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.
3This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.
4This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.
5And the open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.
6This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.
7This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.
