18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying, 19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast of pthe fourth month, and the fast of qthe fifth, and the fast of rthe seventh, and the fast of sthe tenth, shall be to the house of Judah tjoy and gladness, and cheerful ||feasts; therefore love kthe truth and kpeace.

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;

It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people,

And the inhabitants of many cities:

21  And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying,

uLet us go ||†speedily †to pray before the Lord,

And to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.

22  Yea, vmany people and strong nations shall come

To seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem,

And †to pray before the Lord.

23  Thus saith the Lord of hosts;

In those days it shall come to pass, that wten men xshall take hold out yof all languages of the nations,

Even xshall take hold of zthe skirt of him that is a Jew, saying,

We will go with you: for we have heard athat God is with you.
