This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

8 And_ the _message _of YHWH soldiers/messengers _he/it _was to_say.

2 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says I _am _jealous for_Tsiyyōn/(Zion) jealousy great and_rage great I _am _jealous to/for_her/it.

3 Thus YHWH he _says I _have _returned to Tsiyyōn and_I _will _dwell in _the_middle of _Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) and_ Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) _it _will _be _called the _city _of (the)_faithfulness and_the _mountain _of YHWH soldiers/messengers the _mountain _of (the)_holiness.

4 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says again old_men and_old_women they _will _sit in_the _open _places _of Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) and_each staff _of_his in_his/its_hand from_abundance _of days.

5 And_the _open _places _of the_city they _will _be _filled boys and_girls playing in_its _open _of_places.

6 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says if/because it _will _be _difficult in/on_both _eyes _of the _remnant _of the _people the_this in _the_days the_those also in_eyes _of_my will _it _be _difficult the _utterance _of YHWH soldiers/messengers.

7 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says HERE_I am_about _to _save DOM people _of_my from_the_land _of the_east and_from_the _land _of the _setting _of the _sun.

8 And_I _will _bring DOM_them and_they _will _dwell in _the_middle of _Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) and_they _will _be to_me (into)_a_people and_I I _will _become to/for_them (into)_god in_faithfulness and_in_righteousness.

9 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says hands _of_your(pl) let _them _be _strong Oh_you(pl)_who_hear in _the_days the_these DOM the_words/messages the_these from_the _mouth _of the _prophets who in/on_day the _house _of YHWH soldiers/messengers the_temple when_it _was _founded to_be _rebuilt.

10 If/because to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_days the_those the _wage[s]_of the_humankind not it _happened and_the _wage[s]_of the_cattle/livestock it_was_not and_for_who]_went _out and_for_who]_came there_was_not peace from the_foe and_I _sent DOM every _of the_humankind each on_neighbour _of_his.

11 And_now not like_days (the)_former I will_be_to _the _remnant _of the _people the_this the _utterance _of YHWH soldiers/messengers.

12 If/because the _seed _of (the)_peace the_vine it _will _give fruit _of_its and_the_earth it _will _give DOM produce _of_its and_the_heavens they _will _give dew _of_their and_I _will _give _as _an _inheritance DOM the _remnant _of the _people the_this DOM all _of these_things.

13 And_it _was just_as you(pl)_were a _curse among_nations Oh _house _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_the _house _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) so I _will _save you(pl) and_you(pl)_will _be a _blessing do _not be _afraid hands _of_your(pl) let _them _be _strong.

14 If/because thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says just_as I _planned[fn] to_do _harm to/for_you(pl) when_ ancestors _of_your(pl) _provoked _to _anger DOM_me YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says and_not I _relented.

15 So I _have _returned I _have _planned in _the_days the_these to_do _good _to DOM Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) and_DOM the _house _of Yəhūdāh do _not be _afraid.

16 These are_the_things which you(pl)_will _do speak truth each with his/its_neighbour faithfulness and_justice _of peace judge in_gates _of_your(pl).

17 And_each DOM the _harm _of his/its_neighbour do _not plan in_heart _of_your(pl) and_an _oath _of falsehood do _not love if/because DOM all _of these are_things_which I _hate the _utterance _of YHWH.

18 And_ the _message _of YHWH soldiers/messengers _he/it _was to_me to_say.

19 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says the _fast _of the_fourth and_the _fast _of the _fifth_month and_the _fast _of the_seventh and_the _fast _of the _tenth_month it _will _become for_the _house _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) (into)_joy and_(into)_gladness and _(into)_appointed_feasts good and_(the)_truth and_(the)_peace love.

20 Thus YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says yet which/who peoples and_the_inhabitants _of cities many they _will _come.

21 And_ the_inhabitants _of one_city _they _will _go to one_city to_say let _us _go indeed _(go) to_entreat DOM the _face _of YHWH and_to_seek DOM YHWH soldiers/messengers also I I _will _go.

22 And_ peoples many and_nations mighty _they _will _come to_seek DOM YHWH soldiers/messengers in_Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) and_to_entreat DOM the _face _of YHWH.

23 Thus[fn] YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says in _the_days (the)_those which/who ten people from_all the _languages _of the_nations they _will _take _hold and_they _will _take _hold on_the _skirt _of a _person a _Jew to_say we _want _to _go with_you(pl) if/because we _have _heard god is_with_you(pl).
