The Book of Zechariah

Chapter 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;

2

When they had sent4 unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray15 before the LORD,

3

[And] to speak2 unto the priests which [were] in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying,2 Should I weep4 in the fifth month, separating9 myself, as I have done1 these so many years?

4

Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,2

5

Speak3 unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,2 When ye fasted1 and mourned2 in the fifth and seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all2 fast1 unto me, [even] to me?

6

And when ye did eat,4 and when ye did drink,4 did not ye eat6 [for yourselves], and drink6 [for yourselves]?

7

[Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried1 by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited6 and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited6 the south and the plain?

8

And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,2

9

Thus speaketh1 the LORD of hosts, saying,2 Execute3 true judgment, and shew3 mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

10

And oppress4 not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine4 evil against his brother in your heart.

11

But they refused17 to hearken,53 and pulled4 away6 the shoulder, and stopped52 their ears, that they should not hear.2

12

Yea, they made1 their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear2 the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent1 in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

13

Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried,1 and they would not hear;1 so they cried,4 and I would not hear,4 saith1 the LORD of hosts:

14

But I scattered them with a whirlwind17 among all the nations whom they knew1 not. Thus the land was desolate8 after them, that no man passed through6 nor returned:6 for they laid4 the pleasant land desolate.
