Zechariah 8:14-23

14 "For ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'Just as I resolved to do you harm when your forefathers provoked me,' ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'and I did not relent;
15 so now, I resolve to do good to Yerushalayim and to the house of Y'hudah. Don't be afraid!
16 These are the things you are to do: speak the truth to each other; in your courts, administer justice that is true and conducive to peace;
17 don't plot harm against each other; and don't love perjury; for all these are things I hate,' says ADONAI."
18 This word of ADONAI-Tzva'ot came to me:
19 "ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'The fast days of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months are to become times of joy, gladness and cheer for the house of Y'hudah. Therefore, love truth and peace.'
20 "ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'In the future, peoples and inhabitants of many cities will come;
21 the inhabitants of one city will travel to another and say, "We must go to ask ADONAI's favor and consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot. I'll go too."
22 Yes, many peoples and powerful nations will come to consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot in Yerushalayim and to ask ADONAI's favor.'
23 ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'When that time comes, ten men will take hold - speaking all the languages of the nations - will grab hold of the cloak of a Jew and say, "We want to go with you, because we have heard that God is with you."'"
