Contextual Overview
9 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath been founded, the temple [is] to be built. 10 For, before those days there hath been no hiring of man, Yea, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of the adversary, And I send all men -- each against his neighbour. 11 And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 12 Because of the sowing of peace, The vine doth give her fruit, And the earth doth give her increase, And the heavens do give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To inherit all these. 13 And it hath come to pass, As ye have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and ye have been a blessing, Do not fear, let your hands be strong. 14 For, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, As I did purpose to do evil to you, When your fathers made Me wroth, Said Jehovah of Hosts, and I did not repent, 15 So I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah -- fear not! 16 These [are] the things that ye do: Speak ye truth each with his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge in your gates, 17 And each the evil of his neighbour ye do not devise in your heart, And a false oath ye do not love, For all these [are] things that I have hated, An affirmation of Jehovah.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour,.... :- hatred without a cause was a governing vice under the second temple, and Jarchi says was the cause of the destruction of it; see John 15:25:
and love no false oath; whereby the character and property of a fellow creature are hurt; nor any vain one, which the Jews were addicted to, Matthew 5:34:
for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the Lord; as being contrary to his nature, and to his law; and is a reason why they should be hated and avoided by men.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For all these things do I hate - Literally, emphatic, âFor they are all these things which I hate.â This is the sum of what I hate; for they comprise in brief the breaches of the two tables, the love of God and of man.
