Zechariah 8:9 in Context — Zechariah 8

7 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: He aquí, yo salvo mi pueblo de la tierra del oriente, y de la tierra donde se pone el sol;

8 Y traerélos, y habitarán en medio de Jerusalem; y me serán por pueblo, y yo seré á ellos por Dios con verdad y con justicia.

9 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Esfuércense vuestras manos, de vosotros los que oís en estos días estas palabras de la boca de los profetas, desde el día que se echó el cimiento á la casa de Jehová de los ejércitos, para edificar el templo.

10 Porque antes de estos días no ha habido paga de hombre, ni paga de bestia, ni hubo paz alguna para entrante ni para saliente, á causa del enemigo: y yo dejé todos los hombres, cada cual contra su compañero.

11 Mas ahora no [lo haré] con el resto de este pueblo como en aquellos días pasados, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
