Zechariah 8:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 so again in these days I intend to favor Jerusalem and the house of Judah; do not fear! 16 These then are the things you must do: Speak the truth to one another;(A) judge with honesty and complete justice in your gates.[a](B) 17 Let none of you plot evil against another in your heart, nor love a false oath. For all these things I hate—oracle of the Lord.
