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.”

21st Century King James Version
14 “For thus saith the Lord of hosts: ‘As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’ saith the Lord of hosts, ‘and I repented not,
15 so again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Fear ye not.
16 These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;
17 and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ saith the Lord.”
