Zechariah 8:9-19

9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, that were in the dayH3117 that the foundation of the houseH1004 of Jehovah of hostsH6635 was laid, that the temple might be builtH1129.

10For before those daysH3117 there was no hireH7939 for manH376, nor any hireH7939 for beast; and there was no peaceH7965 for him that wentH3318 out or that cameH935 in, because of the distressH6862: for I let loose all menH376, every oneH376 against his neighbour.

11But nowH6258 I will not be unto the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635;

12for the seedH2233 shall be prosperous, the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 its fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 its produceH6529, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these [thingsH428].

13And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curseH7045 among the nationsH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, soH3651 will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall beH1961 a blessingH1293: fearH3372 ye not, let your handsH3027 beH1961 strongH2388.

14For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: Like as I thought to do you evilH7489 when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, and I repentedH5162 not;

15soH3651 again have I thought in these daysH3117 to do goodH3190 unto JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not.

16These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall do: SpeakH1696 truthH571 every oneH376 with his neighbour; execute truthH571 and the judgmentH4941 of peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179;

17and let none of you imagine evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbour; 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 gatherings. LoveH157 ye then truthH571 and peaceH7965.
