9 Yahweh of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Antes de esos días no había pago por el trabajo de una persona ni por el uso de un animal. Nadie podía salir ni entrar en paz, por causa del enemigo, pues yo había puesto a todos unos contra otros.
10 For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 Pero ahora no trataré a los que quedan de este pueblo como los trataba antes, dice el Señor de los ejércitos.
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 Haré que se plante la semilla de la paz. La vid dará su fruto, la tierra sus cosechas y el cielo su rocío. Daré todas estas cosas como herencia a los que quedan de este pueblo.
12 “For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 Pueblo de Judá y pueblo de Israel, así como fueron una maldición entre las naciones, yo los salvaré y serán una bendición. No tengan miedo; fortalezcan sus manos.
13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: Cuando sus antepasados me hicieron enojar, decidí causarles daño, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, y no cambié mi decisión.
14 For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,
15 Ahora he decidido de nuevo hacer bien a Jerusalén y al pueblo de Judá. No tengan miedo.
15 so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 Esto es lo que deben hacer: Digan la verdad unos a otros y juzguen de manera que haya paz en sus ciudades.
16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 No planeen en su corazón hacer mal a su prójimo ni amen los juramentos falsos. Yo odio todas esas cosas, dice el Señor».
17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
18 El Señor de los ejércitos me dijo:
18 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.

And again: "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile; depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, …
