Zechariah 8:16-23

16These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall do: SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 with his neighborH7453; execute the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179; 17and let none of you devise evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighborH7453; and loveH157 no false oathH7621: for all these are thingsH428 that I hateH8130, saith Jehovah.

18And the wordH1697 of Jehovah of hostsH6635 came unto me, sayingH559, 19ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall beH1961 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8057 and gladnessH8057, and cheerful feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 truthH571 and peaceH7965. 20ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: It shall yetH5750 comeH935 to pass, that there shall comeH935 peoplesH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892; 21and the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to another, sayingH559, Let us goH1980 speedily to entreatH2470 the favor of Jehovah, and to seekH1245 Jehovah of hostsH6635: I will goH1980 alsoH1571. 22Yea, manyH7227 peoplesH5971 and strong nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 Jehovah of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to entreatH2470 the favor of Jehovah. 23ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH376 shall takeH2388 holdH2388, out of all the languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, they shall takeH2388 holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH3064, sayingH559, We will go with you, for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
