Zechariah 8:17

¹⁵ “so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.

¹⁶ These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,

do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.

¹⁸ Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,

¹⁹ “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
