@ And it came to pass in the
fourth
year
of
king
Darius

word

LORD
came unto
Zechariah
in the
fourth
day of the
ninth
month
, even in
Chisleu
;
strkjv@Zechariah:7:2

sent
unto the

before

strkjv@Zechariah:7:3

speak
unto the

saying

weep
in the
fifth
month

separating
myself, as I have

unto me,

unto all the

saying

fasted

mourned
in the
fifth

seventh
month, even those
seventy

all
fast
unto me, even to me?
strkjv@Zechariah:7:6
@ And when ye did
eat

eat
for yourselves, and

for yourselves?
strkjv@Zechariah:7:7

hath
cried
by

former

Jerusalem
was
inhabited

prosperity
, and the
cities

inhabited
the
south

speaketh
the

shew

wrath

cried

hear

cried

@ But I scattered them with a
whirlwind
among all the
nations

knew
not. Thus the

desolate

laid
the

desolate
