Zechariah 8:14-17
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.

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.
