Zechariah 8

YHWH proclaims His zeal for Zion and return to Jerusalem, promising to restore prosperity, peace, and abundance to the remnant, transforming them from a curse to a blessing among the nations.[2][5][9] He urges truthful speech, just judgments, and rejection of evil, declaring that feasting shall replace fasting in the cities as signs of joy and divine favor.[2][5]
