2:19 The Lord responded 1 to his people,
“Look! I am about to restore your grain 2
as well as fresh wine and olive oil.
You will be fully satisfied. 3
I will never again make you an object of mockery among the nations.
3:17 You will be convinced 4 that I the Lord am your God,
dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain.
Jerusalem 5 will be holy –
conquering armies 6 will no longer pass through it.
