25 ZEPHANIAH "The great day of the LORD is near It is near and hasteth greatly, Even the voice of the day of th LORD, Wherein the mighty man crietl bitterly.
15That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of wasteness and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick dark- ness, 16A day of the horn and alarm, Against the fortified cities, anc against the high towers. 17And I will bring distress upon men That they shall walk like the blind Because they have sinned againsl the LORD; And their blood shall be poured out as dust, And their flesh as dung. "Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD'S wrath; But the whole earth shall be de- voured by the fire of His jealousy; For He will make an end, yea, a terrible end, Of all them that dwell in the earth.
O Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, 0 shameless nation; 2Before the decree bring forth The day when one passeth as the chaff, Before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, Before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. 3Seek ye the LORD, all ye humble of the earth, That have executed His ordinance; Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
4For Gaza shall be forsaken, And Ashkelon a desolation; They shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, And Ekron shall be rooted up. 5Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against 0 Canaan, the land of the Philis- tines; 1 will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6And the sea-coast shall be pastures, Even meadows for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 7And it shall be a portion for the remnant of the house of Judah,. Whereon they shall feed; In the houses of Ashkelon shall they he down in the evening; For the LORD their God will remember them, And turn their captivity.
8I have heard the taunt of Moab, And the revilings of the children of Ammon, Wherewith they have taunted My people, And spoken boastfully concerning their border. ^Therefore as I live, Saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel- Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, And the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, Even the breeding-place of nettles, and saltpits, And a desolation, for ever; The residue of My people shall spoil them, And the remnant of My nation shall inherit them. °This shall they have for their pride, ZEPHAISTIAH Because they have taunted and spoken boastfully Against the people of the LORD of hosts. uThe LORD will be terrible unto them; For He will famish all the gods of the earth; Then shall all the isles of the nations worship Him, Every one from its place. 12Ye Ethiopians also, Ye shall be slain by My sword.
13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north, And destroy Assyria, And will make Nineveh a desola- tion, And dry like the wilderness. 14And all beasts of every kind Shall lie down in the midst of her in herds; Both the pelican and the bittern Shall lodge in the capitals there- of; Voices shall sing in the windows; Desolation shall be in the posts; For the cedar-work thereof shall be uncovered. 16This is the joyous city That dwelt without care, That said in her heart: 'I am, and there is none else be- side me'; How is she become a desolation, A place for beasts to lie down in,' Every one that passeth by her Shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Q Woe to her that is filthy and 0 polluted, To the oppressing city! 2She hearkened not to the voice, She received not correction; She trusted not in the LORD, She drew not near to her God.
3Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves of the desert, They leave not a bone for the mor- row.
4Her prophets are wanton And treacherous persons; Her priests have profaned that which is holy, They have done violence to the law. 5The LORD who is righteous is in the midst of her, He will not do unrighteousness; Every morning doth He bring His right to light, It faileth not; But the unrighteous knoweth no shame.
6I have cut off nations, Their corners are desolate; I have made their streets waste, So that none passeth by; Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, So that there is no inhabitant. 7I said: 'Surely thou wilt fear Me, Thou wilt receive correction; So her dwelling shall not be cut off, Despite all that I have visited upon her'; But tney betimes corrupted all their doings.
therefore wait ye for Me, saith the LORD, Until the day that I rise up to the prey; For My determination is to gather the nations, That I may assemble the king- doms, To pour upon them Mine indigna- tion, Even all My fierce anger; For all the earth shall be devoured * With the fire of My jealousy.
ZEPHANIAH 9For then will I turn to the peoples A pure language, That they may all call upon the name of the LORD, To serve Him with one consent. 10From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia Shall they bring My suppliants, Even the daughter of My dis- persed, As Mine offering. nln that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, Wherein thou hast transgressed against Me; For then I will take away out of the midst of thee Thy proudly exulting ones, And thou shalt no more be haughty In My holy mountain. 12And I will leave in the midst of thee An afflicted and poor people, And they shall take refuge in the name of the LORD. 13The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, Nor speak lies, Neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed and lie down, And none shall make them afraid.
14Sing, 0 daughter of Zion, Shout, 0 Israel; Be glad and rejoice with all thy heart, 0 daughter of Jerusalem. 15The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, I He hath cast out thine enemy; The King, of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee; Thou shalt not fear evil any more 16In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: 1 Fear thou not; 0 Zion, let not thy hands be slack. 17The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, A Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will be silent m His love, He will joy over thee with sing- ing/ 18I will gather them that are far from the appointed season, who are of thee, That hast borne the burden of reproach. 19Behold, at that time 1 will deal with all them that afflict thee, And I will save her that is lame, And gather her that was driven away; And I will make them to be a praise and a name, Whose shame hath been in all the earth.
20At that time will I bring you in, And at that time will I gather you; For I will make you to be a name and a praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I turn your captivity before your eyes, Saith the LORD.
HAGGAI 1 IN the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, caine the word of the LORD byHaggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:?'Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying: This people say. The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built/ 3Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying: 4'Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste? 5Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.
6Ye have sown much, and brought in little, Ye eat, but ye have not enough, Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink, Ye clothe you, but there is none warm,* And he that earneth wages earneth wages For a bag with holes. 7Thus saith the LORD of hosts. Consider your ways 8Go up to the hill-country, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleas- ure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. 9Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Be- cause of My house that lieth waste, while ye run every man for, his own house. "Therefore over you the heaven hath kept back, so that there is no dew, and the earth hath kept back her produce. nAnd I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cat- tle, and upon all the labour of the hands.7 12Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, hearkened unto the voice of the LORD their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people did fear be- fore the LORD. 13Then spoke Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying: 'I am with you, saith the LORD.' 14And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerub- babel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of 'all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15in the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. O In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying: 2' Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, gov- ernor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying. 8Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do HAGGAT ye see it now? is not such a one as noth- ing in your eyes? 4Yet now be strong, 0 Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts. 5The word that I cove- nanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not. 6For thus ^ saith ^the LORD of hosts. Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and 1 wiU fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, saith the LORD of hosts. ^The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts/ 10In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying: nThus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, saying: 12If one bear hallowed -flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy?' And the priests answered and said: 'No/ 13Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: ' It shall be unclean/ 14Then answered Haggai and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before Me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. 15And now, I.pray you, consider from this day and for- ward — before a stone was kid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD, 16through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty press- measures, there were but twenty; 17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye turned not to Me, saith the LORD — "consider, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it; 19is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and1 the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth — from this day will I bless you/ 20And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying: **•' Speak to Zerubbabel, gov- ernor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength rof the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. ^In bhat day, saith the LORD of hosts, will [ take thee, 0 Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, md will make thee as a signet; for I lave chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts/ ZECHAEIAH ZECHAEIAH 1 IN the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LOBD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying: 2'The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers, therefore say thou unto them: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor attend unto Me, saith the LORD, ^our fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? 6But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? so that they turned and said: Like as the LORD of hosts purposed to do unto us, accord- ing to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath He dealt with us.'
7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying — 8I saw in the night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white. 9Then said I: '0 my lord, what are these?' And the angel that spoke with me said unto me: 'I will show thee what these axe.' 10And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said: 'These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.' uAnd they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said: 'We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.' "Then the angel of the LORD spoke and said: '0 LORD of hosts, how long wilt Thou not have compassion on Je- rusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which Thou hast had indigna- tion these threescore and ten years?' 13And the LORD answered the angel that spoke with me with good words, even comforting words — 14so the angel that spoke with me said unto me: ' Pro- claim thou, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Jeru- salem and for Zion with a great jeal- ousy; 16and I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for evil. 16Theref ore thus saith the LORD: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a, line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem. 17Again, proclaim, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with pros- perity.; and the LORD shall yet com- fort Zion, and shall yet choose Jeru- salem.'
O And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw. u and behold four horns. 2And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: What are these?' And he said unto me: 'These are the horns which ZEOHARIAH have scattered Judah,.Israel, anc Jerusalem,' 3And the LORD showed me four craftsmen, ^Then said I: 'What come these to do?' And he spoke, say- ing: 'These — the horns which scat- tered Judah, so that no man did lifl up his head — these tjien are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.'
5And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 6Then said I: 'Whith- er goest thou?' And he said unto me 'To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.' 7And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 8and said unto him: 'Run, speak to this young man, saying- Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, for the multitude of men and cattle therein. 9For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
10Ho, ho, flee then from the land of the north, saith the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. nHo, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.'
12For thus saith the LORD of hosts, who sent me after glory unto the na- tions which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 13For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a fapoil to those that served them '; and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
14'Smg and rejoice, 0 daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
lfiAnd many nations shall join them- selves to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee'; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 16And the LORD shall in- herit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again 17Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused out of His holy habitation.
Q And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2And the LORD said unto Satan: 'The LORD rebuke thee, 0 Satan, yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?' 3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4And he an- swered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying: 'Take the filthy garments from off him.' And unto him he said: 'Behold, I cause thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with robes.' 5And I said: 'Let them set a fair mitre upon his head.' So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with gar- ments; and the angel of the LORD stood by. 6And the angel of the LORD forewarned Joshua, saying: 7'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou wilt seep My charge, and wilt also udge My house, and wilt also keep My courts, then I will give thee free access among these that stand by. 8Hear now, 0 Joshua the high priest, ;hou and thy fellows that sit before ;hee; for they are men that are a sign; or, behold, I will bring forth My servant the Shoot. *For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone are seven facets; ZECHARIAE behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.'
A And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I said: 'I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes, yea, seven, to the lamps, which are up- on the top thereof; 3and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.' 4And I answered and spoke to the angel that spoke with me, say- ing: 'What are these, my lord?' *Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: ' Knowest thou not what these are?7 And I said. ' No, my lord.' ^hen he answered and spoke unto me, saying: 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7Who art thou, 0 great moun- tain before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be- come a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.'
8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: 9'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also fin- ish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10For who hath despised the day of small things? even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.'
"Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?' 12And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'Wh&i are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?' 13And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' 14Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.'
£ Then again I lifted up mine eyes, u and saw, and behold a fiying roll. 2And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I answered: 'I see a fly-- ing roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.' 3Thensaidheuntome: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it. 4I cause it to go forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swear- eth falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber there- of and the stones thereof.'
^hen the angel that spoke with me went forth, and said unto me: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.' 6And I said: 'What is it?' And he said: 'This is the measure that goeth forth/ He said moreover: 'This is their eye in all the land — 7and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.' 8And he said: This is Wickedness,' And he cast ZECHARIAH her down into the midst of the meas- ure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
^hen lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted u] the measure between the earth an< the heaven. 10Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?' "And he said unto me: 'To build her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is pre- pared, she shall be set there in her own place/ £ And again I lifted up mine eyes, u and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses. 4Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?' 6And the angel an- swered and said unto me: 'These chariots go forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6That wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country; 7and the bay went forth.' And they sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth; and he said: 'Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth.' So they walked to and fro through the earth. 8Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'
9And the word of the LORD came un- to me, saying: 10'Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, that are come from Babylon; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; nyea> take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set the one upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12and speak unto him, saying: Thus speak- eth the LORD of hosts, saying: Behold, a man whose name is the Shoot, and who shall shoot up out of his place, and build the temple of the LORD; 13even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a pnest before his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God—.\ And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the f purth^ day of the ninth month, even in Chislev; 2when Bethel-sarezer, and Regem-melech and his men, had sent to entreat the favour of the LORD, sand to speak unto the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: 'Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many rears?' 4Then came the word of the JORD of hosts unto me, saying: 6' Speak unto all the people of the land, and to ZECHARIAH the priests, saying: When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto Me, even to Me? 6And when ye eat, and when ye drink, are ye not they that eat, and they that drink? 'Should ye not hearken to the words which the LOKD hath proclaimed by the former proph- ets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities there- of round about her, and the South and the Lowland were inhabited4?'
8And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying: 9Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother; 10and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart. HBut they refused to attend, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. 12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13And it came to pass that, as He called, and they would not hear; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts; 14but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they laid the pleasant land deso- late/ Q And the word of the LO&D of hosts ° came, saying: 2'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury.
'Thus saith the LORD: I return unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst- of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth; and t}ie mountain of the LORD of hosts The holy mountain.
4Thus saith the LORD of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the broad places of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 6And the broad places of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the broad places thereof.
6Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in Mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
7Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country; 8and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jeru- salem; and they shall be My people and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
