Zechariah 8:14-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ For the Lord of Hosts says this: “As I resolved to treat you badly when your fathers provoked Me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the Lord of Hosts, ¹⁵ “so I have resolved again in these days to do what is good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah.^(A) Don’t be afraid. ¹⁶ These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another; make true and sound decisions within your gates. ¹⁷ Do not plot evil^(B) in your hearts against your neighbor,^(C) and do not love perjury,^(D) for I hate all this”—this is the Lord’s declaration.
