3 Thus says the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and will (A)dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of (B)Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘(C)Old men and old women will again sit in the (a)streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of (b)age. 5 And the (c)streets of the city will be filled with (D)boys and girls playing in its (d)streets.’
