Zecharyah 8:9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹ Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these devarim by the mouth of the nevi’im, on the yom that the Yesod of the Beis Hashem Tzava’os was laid, the Heikhal, that it may be built.

¹⁰ For before these days there was no sachar for man, nor any sachar for beast; neither was there any shalom to him that went out or came in because of the tzar (oppressor); for I set all men every one against his neighbor.

¹¹ But now I will not be unto the she’erit HaAm HaZeh as in the former days, saith Hashem Tzva’os.
