Zechariah 8:14-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The Lord who rules over all says, “Your people of long ago made me angry. So I decided to bring trouble on them. I did not show them any pity. ¹⁵ But now I plan to do good things to Jerusalem and Judah again. So do not be afraid. ¹⁶ Here is what you must do. Speak the truth to one another. Make true and wise decisions in your courts. ¹⁷ Do not make evil plans against one another. When you promise to tell the truth, do not lie. Many people love to do that. But I hate all these things,” announces the Lord.
