Zechariah 8:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ Don’t make secret plans to hurt your neighbors. Don’t make false promises. You must not enjoy doing these things, because I hate them!” This is what the Lord said.

¹⁸ I received this message from the Lord All-Powerful. ¹⁹ The Lord All-Powerful says, “You have special days of sadness and fasting in the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, and the tenth month.^[a] These days of sadness must be changed into days of happiness. They will be good and happy festivals. And you must love truth and peace.”
