Or "so I am returned" ^F14, as in ( Zechariah 8:3 ) : have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem, and to the

Zechariah 8:15 In-Context

13 And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

14 For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:

15 So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

16 These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.

17 Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.
