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

⁶ ""Come now! Come now! Flee from the land of the north,' declares the LORD, "for I have dispersed you like the four winds of heaven,' declares the LORD. ⁷ ""Come now, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the residents of Babylon. ⁸ For this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "In pursuit of glory I was sent to the nations who plundered you, because whoever injures you injures the pupil of my eye. ⁹ And look, I will shake my fist over them, and they will become plunder for their former slaves. And you will know that the LORD of the Heavenly Armies sent me."'"

¹⁰ "Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! Take note! I am coming to live in your midst," declares the LORD. ¹¹ "Many nations will cling to the LORD at that time and will become my people. I will live in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of the Heavenly Armies has sent me to you. ¹² The LORD will take possession of Judah as his own property in the Holy Land and he will choose Jerusalem again. ¹³ Be silent, every living thing, in the presence of the LORD, because he is emerging from his Holy Place."
