Zechariah 8:3

Zechariah 8:3. A city of truth— A faithful city; a spouse without reproach. "She shall be no longer an abandoned, debauched, and prostituted city; no more shall be seen in Jerusalem the worship of strange gods; the true God alone shall be known and worshipped there!" We see a shadow of this prophesy in Judaea after the return from the captivity; but this faithful city, in the strictness of the letter, is no other than the church of Jesus Christ;—that chaste and faithful spouse. See Eph 5:27 and Calmet.
