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.”

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)“As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, 15 so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; (B)fear not. 16 These are the things that you shall do: (C)Speak the truth to one another; (D)render in your gates judgments (E)that are true and make for peace; 17 (F)do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and (G)love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”
