16 These are the things you⁺ must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your⁺ gates, 17 do not plot evil in your⁺ hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD {YHWH}. 18 Then the word of the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts came to me, saying, 19 “This is what the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah (praised). Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.” 20 This is what the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities— 21 and the residents of one city will go to another, saying: ‘Let us go at once to plead before the LORD {YHWH} and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I myself am going.’ 22 And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts in Jerusalem (city of peace) and to plead before the LORD.” 23 This is what the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you⁺, for we have heard that God {Elohim} is with you⁺.’” Zechariah 8:16-23, Berean Annotated Bible.
