Zechariah 8:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ The Lord Almighty says, ‘Be strong, you people who now hear these words from the mouths of the prophets. The prophets spoke the same words when you prepared the ground for the temple of the Lord Almighty. Now be strong and continue to build. ¹⁰ Before that time, there was not enough money to pay for work that men or animals did. No man was safe from the enemy because I made all men angry with each other.’

¹¹ ‘But now it is different. I will not be angry with the few people that have returned,’ says the Lord Almighty.
