Zechariah 2:6-13 - The Exiles Are Called Home

⁶ Ho! ho! flee ye, therefore, out of the land of the North, urgeth Yahweh. For, as the four winds of the heavens, have I spread you abroad, declareth Yahweh. ⁷ Ho! Zion, deliver thyself, - thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For, ⁸ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, For his own honour, hath he sent me unto the nations that are spoiling you, - Surely, he that toucheth you, toucheth the pupil of mine eye. ⁹ For behold me! brandishing my hand over them, and they shall become a spoil unto their own slaves, - and ye shall know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me.

¹⁰ Sing out and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, - For behold me! coming in, and I will make my habitation in thy midst, declareth Yahweh. ¹¹ Then shall many nations, join themselves, unto Yahweh, in that day, and shall become my people, - and I will make my habitation in thy midst, so shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto thee. ¹² Thus will Yahweh inherit Judah, his portion, on the soil of the sanctuary, - and make choice, yet again, of Jerusalem. ¹³ Hush! all flesh, before Yahweh, - For he hath roused himself up out of his holy dwelling.
