¹⁸ And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, ¹⁹ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the ^(A)fourth month and the fast of the ^(B)fifth and the fast of the ^(C)seventh and the fast of the ^(D)tenth shall be to the house of Judah ^(E)seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love ^(F)truth and peace.

²⁰ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities. ²¹ The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ^(G)‘Let us go at once ^(H)to entreat the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts; I myself am going.’ ^22 (I)Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and ^(J)to entreat the favor of the Lord. ²³ Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ^(K)ten men ^(L)from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for ^(M)we have heard that God is with you.’”
