Zechariah 8:15-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. so I have again purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear!

16. These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates.

17. Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,' declares the Lord."

18. Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

19. "Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.'

20. "Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'It will yet be that peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities.

21. The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, "Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I will also go."

22. So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord.'

23. Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."'"
