Zechariah 8:14-19

[14] For thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  As I thought  to punish  you, when your fathers  provoked me to wrath,  saith  the LORD  of hosts,  and I repented  not: [15] So again  have I thought  in these days  to do well  unto Jerusalem  and to the house  of Judah:  fear  [16] These are the things  that ye shall do;  Speak  ye every man  the truth  to his neighbour;  execute  the judgment  of truth  and peace  in your gates:  [17] And let none  of you imagine  evil  in your hearts  against his neighbour;  and love  no false  oath:  for all these are things that I hate,  saith  the LORD.  [18] And the word  of the LORD  of hosts  came unto me, saying,  [19] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  The fast  of the fourth  month, and the fast  of the fifth,  and the fast  of the seventh,  and the fast  of the tenth,  shall be to the house  of Judah  joy  and gladness,  and cheerful  feasts;  therefore love  the truth  and peace.
