Let Mount Zion be glad,
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments.

By Your favor do good to Zion;

Build the walls of Jerusalem.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people

From this time forth and forever.

Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They consecrated the wall to the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel.

Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,

Now when the wall was rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

The priests and the Levites purified themselves; they also purified the people, the gates and the wall.

The Lord

determined to destroy

The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out a line,
He has not restrained His hand from destroying,
And He has caused rampart and wall to lament;
They have languished together.

The kings of the earth did not believe,
Nor did any of the inhabitants of the world,
That the adversary and the enemy
Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a

decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until

Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

May the Lord

give you increase,

You and your children.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

Within your house,

Your children like olive plants
Around your table.

Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,
And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;

‘For I will pour out water on the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring
And My blessing on your descendants;

‘From them will proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who

celebrate;

And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.

Thus says the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’

saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.
