“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭122‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭129‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Contrast: loving Zion brings a blessing, hating Zion brings shame. Why? Because Jerusalem is better than other cities?

Nope. Because it's chosen by God as you were chosen by God despite our unworthiness.
