Zechariah 8:14-17
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.”

Zechariah 8:14-17
American Standard Version
14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not; 15 so again have I thought in these days to do good 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 with his neighbor; [a]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, saith Jehovah.
