13 And as (A)you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, (B)so will I save you, and (C)you shall be a blessing. (D)Fear not, but (E)let your hands be strong.”

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (F)“As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, 15 so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; (G)fear not. 16 These are the things that you shall do: (H)Speak the truth to one another; (I)render in your gates judgments (J)that are true and make for peace; 17 (K)do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and (L)love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”
