Zechariah 8:17 in Context — Zechariah 8

15 Así tornando he pensado de hacer bien á Jerusalem y á la casa de Judá en estos días: no temáis.

16 Estas son las cosas que habéis de hacer: Hablad verdad cada cual con su prójimo; juzgad en vuestras puertas verdad y juicio de paz:

17 Y ninguno de vosotros piense mal en su corazón contra su prójimo, ni améis juramento falso: porque todas estas son cosas que aborrezco, dice Jehová.

18 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo:

19 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: El ayuno del cuarto [mes], y el ayuno del quinto, y el ayuno del séptimo, y el ayuno del décimo, se tornarán á la casa de Judá en gozo y alegría, y en festivas solemnidades. Amad pues verdad y paz.
