Mother's Day
1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with
great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will
dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth;
and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and
old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in
his hand for very age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and
girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the
eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous
in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my
people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst
of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth
and in righteousness.

11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as
in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her
fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their
dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among
the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye
shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish
you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I
repented not:
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto
Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man
the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your
gates:
17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against
his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,
saith the LORD.
