Zechariah 8:9-19

9Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, who were in the dayH3117 when the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129. 10For beforeH6440 these daysH3117 there wasH1961 no hireH7939 for manH120, nor any hireH7939 for beastH929; neither was there any peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318 or came inH935 because of the afflictionH6862: for I setH7971 all menH120 every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453.1 11But now I will not be to the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 12For the seedH2233 shall be prosperousH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 her fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 her increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these things .2 13And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curseH7045 among the heathenH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 not, let your handsH3027 be strongH2388. 14For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; As I thoughtH2161 to punishH7489 you, when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrathH7107, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I repentedH5162 not: 15So againH7725 have I thoughtH2161 in these daysH3117 to do goodH3190 to JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not. 16These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179:3 17And let noneH376 of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbourH7453; and loveH157 no falseH8267 oathH7621: for all these are things that I hateH8130, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

18And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came to me, sayingH559, 19Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 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 be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965.4
