“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.”
The promise that 'the LORD bless you, O habitation of righteousness, O holy hill' restores Jerusalem's status as a holy center. The epithet 'habitation of righteousness' suggests that the restored city will be characterized by justice and covenant fidelity. The restored community will embody righteousness.
