Zechariah:1:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the eighth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
came the word of the LORD to Zechariah ,
the son of Berechiah ,
the son of Iddo the prophet ,
saying ,
*
The LORD has been sore displeased with your fathers .
*
Therefore say you to them ,
Thus said the LORD of hosts ;
Turn you to me ,
said the LORD of hosts ,
and I will turn to you ,
said the LORD of hosts .
*
Be you not as your fathers ,
to whom the former prophets have cried ,
saying ,
Thus said the LORD of hosts ;
Turn you now from your evil ways ,
and from your evil doings :
but they did not hear ,
nor listen to me ,
said the LORD .
*
Your fathers ,
where are they ?
and the prophets ,
do they live for ever ?
*
But my words and my statutes ,
which I commanded my servants the prophets ,
did they not take hold of your fathers ?
and they returned and said ,
Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do to us ,
according to our ways ,
and according to our doings ,
so has he dealt with us .
