For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
ZECHARIAH 8:10
But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

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

So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah fear ye not.
ZECHARIAH 8:15
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
ZECHARIAH 8:16
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.

ZECHARIAH 8:18

And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts I will go also.

Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you for we have heard that God is with you.
