Zechariah 8:18-20

Contemporary English Version

A Time of Celebration

¹⁸ The Lord All-Powerful told me to say:

¹⁹ People of Judah, I, the Lord, demand that whenever you go without food as a way of worshiping me, it should become a time of celebration. No matter if it's the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, or the tenth month, you should have a joyful festival. So love truth and live at peace.

²⁰ I tell you that people will come here from cities everywhere.
