Contextual Overview

¹⁸ The Lord All-Powerful told me to say: ¹⁹ People of Judah, I, the Lord , demand that whenever you go without food as a way of worshiping me, it should become a time of celebration. No matter if it's the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, or the tenth month, you should have a joyful festival. So love truth and live at peace. ²⁰ I tell you that people will come here from cities everywhere. ²¹ Those of one town will go to another and say, "We're going to ask the Lord All-Powerful to treat us with kindness. Come and join us." ²² Many people from strong nations will come to Jerusalem to worship me and to ask me to treat them with kindness. ²³ When this happens, ten people from nations with different languages will grab a Jew by his clothes and say, "Let us go with you. We've heard that God is on your side." I, the Lord All-Powerful, have spoken!
