Zechariah 7:4

1
And it came
to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
that
the word of the
L
ORD
came unto Zechariah in the fourth
day
of the ninth month,
even
in Chisleu;
2
When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the
L
ORD
,
3
And
to speak unto the priests which
were
in the house of the
L
ORD
of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Then came the word of the
L
ORD
of hosts unto me, saying,
5
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh
month
, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me,
even
to me?
6
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat
for yourselves
, and drink
for yourselves
?
7
Should ye
not
hear
the words which the
L
ORD
hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when
men
inhabited the south and the plain?
8
And the word of the
L
ORD
came unto Zechariah, saying,
9
Thus speaketh the
L
ORD
of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12
Yea, they made their hearts
as
an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the
L
ORD
of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the
L
ORD
of hosts.
13
Therefore it is come to pass,
that
as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts:
14
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
