God Will Dwell Again in Jerusalem
14Shout for joy, Fair Zion! For lo, I come; and I will dwell in your midst—declares the Lord. 15In that day many nations will attach themselves to the Lord and become His people, and He will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that I was sent to you by the Lord of Hosts.
16The Lord will take Judah to Himself as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will choose Jerusalem once more.
17Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord!
For He is roused from His holy habitation.
