Be said

Strengthen the weak hands,
steady the shaking knees!

Zion, herald of good news,
go up on a high mountain.
Jerusalem, herald of good news,
raise your voice loudly.
Raise it, do not be afraid!
Say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!”

Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.

Now this is what the Lord says—
the One who created you, Jacob,
and the One who formed you, Israel—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

This is the word of the Lord
your Maker who formed you from the womb;
He will help you:
Do not fear; Jacob is My servant;
I have chosen Jeshurun.

“Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;
don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.
For you will forget the shame of your youth,
and you will no longer remember
the disgrace of your widowhood.

But you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid,
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away
and your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.

Even so, be strong, Zerubbabel”—this is the Lord’s declaration. “Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land”—this is the Lord’s declaration. “Work! For I am with you”—the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.

“so I have resolved again in these days to do what is good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.

The next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Therefore strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees,

Slack

Therefore, since we have this ministry because we were shown mercy, we do not give up.

So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

So then I ask you not to be discouraged over my afflictions on your behalf, for they are your glory.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

You also possess endurance and have tolerated many things because of My name and have not grown weary.

General references

For You have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what You have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of Your hands.

“Look, the days are coming”—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“when I will fulfill the good promises
that I have spoken
concerning the house of Israel
and the house of Judah.
