Zechariah 8:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Judah and Israel, your names have been used as curses. But I will save you. And you will be a blessing. So don’t be afraid. Be strong.”

¹⁴ This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says: “Your ancestors made me angry. So I planned to punish you. I had no mercy,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ¹⁵ “But now I am planning to do good to Jerusalem and Judah. So don’t be afraid.
