Zechariah:1:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the eighth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah ,
the son of Barachiah ,
the son of Iddo ,
the prophet ,
saying :
*
Jehovah hath been much displeased with your fathers .
*
But say thou to them ,
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts :
Turn ye to me ,
saith Jehovah of hosts ,
And I will turn to you ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
*
Be ye not as your fathers ,
to whom the former prophets cried ,
saying ,
Turn ye now from your evil ways ,
and from your evil doings !
But they did not hear ,
nor hearken to me ,
saith Jehovah .
*
Your fathers ,
where are they ?
And the prophets ,
do they live forever ?
*
But my words and my statutes ,
Which I commanded my servants ,
the prophets ,
Did they not overtake your fathers ?
And they returned and said ,
Even as Jehovah of hosts thought To do to us according to our ways ,
and according to doings ,
So hath he done to us .
