ZEC-7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
[that] the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth
[day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chisleu;
ZEC-7:2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and
Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
ZEC-7:3 [And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the
house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should
I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done
these so many years?
ZEC-7:4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
ZEC-7:5 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?
ZEC-7:6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye
eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?
ZEC-7:7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD 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?
ZEC-7:8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
ZEC-7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true
judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his
brother:
ZEC-7:10 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.
ZEC-7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the
shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
ZEC-7:12 Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest
they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts
hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a
great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
ZEC-7:13 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 LORD of hosts:
ZEC-7:14 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.
