New International Reader's Version

Zechariah 8:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. Another message came to me from the Lord who rules over all. He said,

19. "You have established special times to go without eating. They are your fasts in the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months. They will become days of joy. They will be happy times for Judah. It will happen if you take delight in telling the truth and bringing about peace."

20. He continued, "Many nations will still come to you. And those who live in many cities will also come.

21. The people who live in one city will go to another city. They will say, 'Let's go right away to ask the Lord to show us his favor. Let's look to him as our God. We ourselves are going.'

22. Large numbers of people and nations will come to Jerusalem. They will look to me. They will ask me to show them my favor."
