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
Common English Bible
14 The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:
Just as I planned evil against you when your ancestors angered me, says the Lord of heavenly forces, and did not relent, 15 so now I have changed course and again plan to do good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 These are the things you should do: Speak the truth to each other; make truthful, just, and peaceable decisions within your gates. 17 Don’t plan evil for each other. Don’t adore swearing falsely, for all of these are things that I hate, says the Lord.
