Zechariah 8:14-17
World English Bible
14 For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent; 15 so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid. 16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates, 17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.

New American Standard Bible
14 “For this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Just as I (A)determined to do harm to you when your fathers provoked Me to anger,’ says the Lord of armies, ‘and I have not (B)relented, 15 so I have again determined 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 shall do: speak the (E)truth to one another; (F)judge with truth and judgment for peace at your [a]gates. 17 Also let none of you (G)devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love [b](H)perjury; for all these things are what I (I)hate,’ declares the Lord.”
