Zechariah 8:13  (King James Version)
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.

ye shall
The consideration that all nations who now worship the true God, and receive the Sacred Scriptures as His word, have derived the whole of their divine knowledge, under God, from Jewish prophets, apostles, and teachers, and that the Saviour "in whom all nations shall be blessed," sprang from that
favoured race, emphatically explains what is meant by "ye shall be a blessing." The full accomplishment of this prediction, however, is probably reserved for the future restoration of the Jews. 20-23 ; 10:6-9 Genesis 12:2 Genesis 12:3 ; 26:4 Ruth 4:11 Ruth 4:12 ; Psalms 72:17 ; Isaiah 19:24 Isaiah 19:25
