Zechariah 8:16-23 ▼

16 These are the things that you? will do: Speak the truth, every man with his neighbor; in truth and judgment of peace render judgment in your? gates;

17 and each man, you? shall not devise evil against a neighbor in your? heart, and an oath of deception you? shall not love, for all these are that which I hate,” a declaration of YHWH.

18 And the word of YHWH of Hosts came to me, saying:

19 “Thus says YHWH of Hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, will be for the house of Judah as joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. And love the truth and the peace.”

20 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Yet that peoples will come, and dwellers of many cities.

21 And will go those dwelling in one to one, saying, ‘Let us go at once to ask for favor before the face of YHWH, and to seek YHWH of Hosts; I will go—even I.’

22 And will come many peoples and strong nations to seek YHWH of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to ask for favor before the face of YHWH.”

23 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “In those days, will take hold ten men from every language of the nations, and they will take hold on the sleeve of a man, a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you?, for we have heard that God is with you?.’”
