And I will leave in you a meek and lowly people;
13
and the remnant of Israel shall fear the name of the Lord, and shall do no iniquity, neither shall they speak vanity; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed, and lie down, and there shall be none to terrify them.
14
Rejoice, O daughter of Zion; cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; rejoice and delight yourself with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15
The Lord has taken away your iniquities, He has ransomed you from the hand of your enemies: the Lord, the King of Israel, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil any more.
16
At that time the Lord shall say to Jerusalem, Be of good courage, Zion; let not your hands be slack.
17
The Lord your God is in you; the Mighty One shall save you: He shall bring joy upon you, and shall refresh you with His love; and He shall rejoice over you with delight as in a day of feasting.
18
And I will gather your afflicted ones. Alas! Who has taken up a reproach against her?
19
Behold, I [will] work in you for your sake at that time, says the Lord: and I will save her that was oppressed, and receive her that was rejected; and I will make them a praise, and honored in all the earth.
20
And [their enemies] shall be ashamed at that time, when I shall deal well with you, and at the time when I shall receive you: for I will make you honored and a praise among all the nations of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before you, says the Lord.
Zechariah 1:12-17
12
Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord Almighty, how long will You have no mercy on Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, which You has disregarded these seventy years?
13
And the Lord Almighty answered the angel that spoke with me good words and comforting sayings.
14
And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry out and say, Thus says the Lord Almighty; I have been jealous for Jerusalem and Zion with great jealousy.
15
And I am very angry with the heathen that combine to attack [her]: for as I indeed was a little angry, but they combined to attack [her] for evil.
16
Therefore thus says the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; and My house shall be rebuilt in her, says the Lord Almighty, and a measuring line shall yet be stretched out over Jerusalem.
17
And the angel that spoke with me said to me, Cry yet, and say, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet shall cities be spread abroad through prosperity; and the Lord shall yet have mercy upon Zion, and shall choose Jerusalem.
Zechariah 8:19-23
19
Thus says the Lord Almighty, The fourth fast, and the fifth fast, and the seventh fast, and the tenth fast, shall be to the house of Judah for joy and gladness, and for good feasts; and you shall rejoice; therefore love the truth, and peace.
20
Thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet shall many peoples come, and the inhabitants of many cities;
21
and the inhabitants of five cities shall come together to one city, saying, Let us go to make supplication to the Lord, and to seek the face of the Lord Almighty; I will go also.
22
And many peoples and many nations shall come to seek earnestly the face of the Lord Almighty in Jerusalem, and to obtain [the] favor of the Lord.
23
Thus says the Lord Almighty; In those days [My word shall be fulfilled] if ten men of all the languages of the nations should take hold- even take hold of the hem of a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.

For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins."
