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.”

Zechariah 8:14-17
New King James Version
14 “For thus says the Lord of hosts:
(A)‘Just as I determined to [a]punish you
When your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
(B)‘And I would not relent,
15 So again in these days
I am determined to do good
To Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Do not fear.
16 These are the things you shall (C)do:
(D)Speak each man the truth to his neighbor;
Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace;
17 (E)Let none of you think evil in [b]your heart against your neighbor;
And do not love a false oath.
For all these are things that I hate,’
Says the Lord.”
