Zechariah 8:16-23
16These are the things you must do: Speak the truth, each of you, to one another. Practice true and righteous judgment in your courts.
17Do not plan evil in your hearts against one another. Do not favor a false oath – these are all things that I hate,’ says the Lord.”
18The word of the Lord who rules over all came to me as follows:
19“The Lord who rules over all says, ‘The fast of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months will become joyful and happy, pleasant feasts for the house of Judah, so love truth and peace.’
20The Lord who rules over all says, ‘It will someday come to pass that people – residents of many cities – will come.
21The inhabitants of one will go to another and say, “Let’s go up at once to ask the favor of the Lord, to seek the Lord who rules over all. Indeed, I’ll go with you.”’
22Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord who rules over all and to ask his favor.
23The Lord who rules over all says, ‘In those days ten people from all languages and nations will grasp hold of – indeed, grab – the robe of one Jew and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’”
