¶ The .viii. Chapter.
¶ Of the returne of the people vnto Ierusalem, and of
the mercy of God towarde them. Of good workes. The
callynge of the Gentyles.
A So the worde of þe; Lord came vnto
me, say&ebar;ge. Thus sayth the Lord
of hoostes. I was in a great gelousy
ouer Sion, yee, I haue bene very
gelous ouer her in a great dyspleasure
thus sayeth þe; Lord of hoostes. I will turne
me agayne vnto Syon, ∧ wyll dwell in the
myddest of Ierusalem: note so that Ierusalem
shalbe called a faythfull ∧ true cytye, þe; hyl
of the Lorde of hoostes, yee, an holy hyll.
Thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes. There
shall yet olde men ∧ wemen dwel agayne in
þe; stretes of Ierusalem: yee, ∧ soch as go &wt;
staues in their h&abar;des for very age. The stretes
of þe; cytye also shalbe full of y&obar;ge boyes
and damselles, playinge vpon the strates.
B Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: yf þe; resydue
of this people thynke it to be vnpossible
in these dayes, note shuld it therfore be vnpossyble
in my syght, sayth þe; Lord of hoostes?
Thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes: Beholde,
I will delyuer my people from þe; lande
of the east ∧ west, and wyll brynge them
agayne: that they maye dwell at Ierusal&ebar;.
noteThey shalbe my people, ∧ I wyll be theyr
God, in treuth and ryghteousnesse.
Thus sayth the Lorde of hostes: let your
handes be stronge, ye that now heare these
wordes by þe; mouth of þe; prophetes, whych
be in these dayes þt; the foundacyon is layed
-- --
vpon the Lord of hoostes house that the t&ebar;ple
maye be builded. For why? note before these
dayes, nether men ner catel coulde wynne
eny thinge, nether myght eny man come in
and out in rest, for trouble: but I lett euery
man go agaynst his neyghboure.
Neuertheles, I wyll now intreate þe; resydue
of thys people nomore as afore tyme,
sayth the Lord of hoostes, note but they shalbe
a sede of peace. The vyneyarde shal geue
her frute, þe; grounde shall geue her increase,
and the heauens shall geue theyr dewe:
C and
I shall cause the remnaunt of thys people,
to haue all these in possession. And it shall
come to passe, that lyke as ye were a curse
amonge the Heathen (O ye house of Iuda,
and ye house of Israel) Euen so wil I delyuer
you, that ye shalbe a blessing: feare not,
but let your handes be stronge.
For thus sayth the Lord of hoostes: lyke
as I deuysed to punysh you, what tyme as
your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayeth
þe; Lord of hoostes, ∧ spared not. Euen
so am I determined now in these dayes, for
to do well vnto the house of Iuda ∧ Ierusalem,
therfore feare ye not. Nowe þe; thynges
that ye shall do, are these: note Speake euery
man the treuth vnto hys neyghboure, execute
iudgement truly, and peaceably wythyn
your portes, none of you ymagin euel in his
herte agaynst hys neyghboure, and loue no
false othes: for all these are þe; thynges that
I hate, sayeth the Lorde. And the worde of
the Lord of hoostes, came vnto me, sayeng:
thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes. The fast
of the fourth moneth, þe; fast of the fifth, the
fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth,
shall be ioye and gladnesse, and prosperous
hye feastes vnto the house of Iuda: Onely,
loue the treuth and peace.
D Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. There
shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of
many cytyes, ∧ they that dwell in one cyte
shal go to another, sayeng. noteUp, let vs go,
∧ praye before þe; Lorde, let vs seke þe; Lorde
of hoostes, I wyll go &wt; you: yee, moch people
∧ myghtye Heathen shal come ∧ seke þe;
Lord of hoostes at Ierusalem, and to praye
before þe; Lord. Thus sayeth þe; Lord of hoostes.
In þt; tyme shall ten men (out of all maner
of languages of the G&ebar;tyles) take one
Iewe by the hemme of hys garm&ebar;t, ∧ saye:
we wyll go &wt; you, for we haue herde, that
God is amonge you.
