@ 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
;
strkjv@Zechariah:7:2
@ When they had
sent
unto the
house
of
God
Sherezer
and
Regemmelech
Regem, and their
men
, to
pray
before
the
LORD
,
strkjv@Zechariah: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
?
strkjv@Zechariah:7:4
@ Then came the
word
of the
LORD
of
hosts
unto me,
saying
,
strkjv@Zechariah: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?
strkjv@Zechariah:7:6
@ And when ye did
eat
, and when ye did
drink
, did not ye
eat
for yourselves, and
drink
for yourselves?
strkjv@Zechariah: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
?
strkjv@Zechariah:7:8
@ And the
word
of the
LORD
came unto
Zechariah
,
saying
,
strkjv@Zechariah:7:9
@ Thus
speaketh
the
LORD
of
hosts
,
saying
,
Execute
true
judgment
, and
shew
mercy
and
compassions
every
man
to his
brother
:
strkjv@Zechariah: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
.
strkjv@Zechariah:7:11
@ But they
refused
to
hearken
, and pulled
away
the
shoulder
, and
stopped
their
ears
, that they should not
hear
.
strkjv@Zechariah: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
.
strkjv@Zechariah: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
:
strkjv@Zechariah: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
.
