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.”

Lexham English Bible
14 For thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Just as I planned to bring disaster[a] on you when your ancestors[b] provoked me to anger,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and I did not regret it, 15 so again I have planned[c] in these days to do good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. Do not be afraid! 16 These are the things that you must do: speak truth, each of you, with his neighbor; practice trustworthy judgment and peace in your gates. 17 Do not devise evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love a false oath,[d] because all these are things I hate,” declares[e] Yahweh.
