Zechariah 8:16-23 ▼

16 These are the things which you shall do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace at your gates.

17 Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these things are what I hate,’ declares the LORD.”

18 Then the word of the LORD of armies came to me, saying,

19 “The LORD of armies says this: ‘The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, jubilation, and cheerful festivals for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.’

20 “The LORD of armies says this: ‘It will yet turn out that peoples will come, that is, the inhabitants of many cities.

21 The inhabitants of one city will go to another, saying, “Let’s go at once to plead for the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of armies; I also will go.”

22 So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek the LORD of armies in Jerusalem, and to plead for the favor of the LORD.’

23 The LORD of armies says this: ‘In those days ten people from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’”
