Zechariah 8:16-23

16These are the things that you should do. Speak true words to each other. Leaders, be fair to all people.

17Do not think to do bad things against other people. Do not use my name to promise things and then not do those things. All these things make me very angry.’

18Again Zechariah the prophet heard this message from the Lord Almighty.

19‘On special days in the year you eat no food. Those days are in the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months. But I want you to enjoy those days,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘I want the people in Judah to be happy. So speak true words and live quiet lives.’

20‘People that live in many countries will come to Jerusalem,’ says the Lord Almighty.

21‘The people from one city will go to the people in another city. They will say, “Come with us to worship the Lord Almighty. Come and ask the Lord to help us.”

22People from many powerful nations will worship the Lord Almighty in Jerusalem. They will ask the Lord to help them.’

23‘Then, ten men from foreign countries will hold the coat of one Jew,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘They will say, “People have told us that the Lord is with you. So we want to go with you.” ’
