12. For the seed of peace shall remain; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her fruit, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all this.
13. And it shall come to pass that as ye were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Judah and house of Israel; so will I save you that ye might be a blessing; fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14. For thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, said the Lord of the hosts, and I did not repent:
15. so again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; do not fear.
16. These are the things that ye shall do: Speak each one 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, said the Lord.
18. And the word of the Lord of the hosts came unto me, saying,
19. Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, 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.
20. Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, It shall yet come to pass that there shall come people and the inhabitants of many cities
21. and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go to pray before the Lord and to seek the Lord of the hosts. And the other will respond: I will go also.
22. And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of the hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the Lord.
23. Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, In those days it shall come to pass that ten men of all the languages of the Gentiles shall take hold of the robe of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
