Zechariah 8:14-17
Legacy Standard Bible
14 “For thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘Just as I (A)purposed to bring about evil to you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘and I have not (B)relented, 15 so I have again purposed in these days to (C)do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. (D)Do not fear! 16 These are the things which you should do: speak the (E)truth to one another; (F)judge with truth and judgment for peace in your [a]gates. 17 Also let none of you (G)devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love [b](H)false oaths; for all these are what I (I)hate,’ declares Yahweh.”

Christian Standard Bible
14 For the Lord of Armies says this: “As I resolved to treat you badly when your ancestors provoked me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the Lord of Armies, 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 city 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.
