14
For thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, said the LORD of the hosts, and I did not repent:
15
so again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; do not fear.
16
These
are the things that ye shall do: Speak each one the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;
17
and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these
are things that I hate, said the LORD.
18
And the word of the LORD of the hosts came unto me, saying,
19
Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, The fast of the fourth
month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
20
Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said,
It shall yet come to pass that there shall come people and the inhabitants of many cities
21
and the inhabitants of one
city shall go to another, saying, Let us go to pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD of the hosts.
And the other will respond: I will go also.
22
And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of the hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the LORD.
23
Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, In those days
it shall come to pass that ten men of all the languages of the Gentiles shall take hold of the robe of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard
that God
is with you.
