Zechariah 8:16-23

16These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:1 17And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Yhwh.

18And the word of Yhwh of Armies came unto me, saying, 19Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.2 20Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 21And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before Yhwh, and to seek Yhwh of Armies: I will go also.34 22Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek Yhwh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to pray before Yhwh.5 23Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
