Zechariah 8:18-23

18Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, 19“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘The fast of the 1fourth, the fast of the 2fifth, the fast of the 3seventh and the fast of the 4tenth months will become 5joy, gladness, and 6cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so 7love truth and peace.’

20“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘It will yet be that 8peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities. 21The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, “Let us go at once to 9entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; 10I will also go.” 22So 11many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to 12entreat the favor of the Lord.’ 23Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all the 13nations will 1415grasp the 16garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’”
