EXECUTE THE JUDGMENT OF TRUTH

 ZECHARIAH 8:9-17

THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; 

LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG,

YE THAT HEAR

IN THESE DAYS THESE

WORDS BY THE MOUTH

OF THE PROPHETS,

WHICH WERE

IN THE DAY THAT

THE FOUNDATION

OF THE HOUSE OF

THE LORD OF HOSTS WAS LAID,

THAT THE TEMPLE MIGHT

BE BUILT.

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. 

BUT NOW I WILL NOT BE 

UNTO THE RESIDUE OF 

THIS PEOPLE AS IN 

THE FORMER DAYS, 

SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.
FOR THE SEED SHALL 

BE PROSPEROUS; 

THE VINE SHALL GIVE HER FRUIT,

AND THE GROUND

SHALL GIVE HER INCREASE,

AND THE HEAVENS SHALL

GIVE THEIR DEW;

AND I WILL CAUSE

THE REMNANT OF THIS

PEOPLE TO POSSESS ALL

THESE THINGS.
AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, 

THAT AS YE WERE 

A CURSE AMONG THE HEATHEN, 

O HOUSE OF JUDAH, 

AND HOUSE OF ISRAEL; 

SO WILL I SAVE YOU, 

AND YE SHALL BE A BLESSING: 

FEAR NOT, BUT LET YOUR 

HANDS BE STRONG.
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.
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: 

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.  

LOVE
