Zechariah:1:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the eighth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah ,
the son of Iddo ,
the prophet ,
saying ,
*
Yahweh was very displeased with your (

note )
fathers .
*
Therefore you say to them ,
Thus says Yahweh of hosts :
Return to me ,
says Yahweh of hosts ,
and I will return to you (

note ),
says Yahweh of hosts .
*
Don '
t be (
note :){+}(:

as your {+}
fathers ,
to whom the former prophets cried ,
saying ,
Thus says Yahweh of hosts ,
Return {+}
now from your {+}
evil ways ,
and from your {+}
evil doings :
but they did not hear ,
nor listen to me ,
says Yahweh .
*
Your (
note :){+}(:
note )
fathers ,
where are they ?
And the prophets ,
do they live forever ?
*
But my words and my statutes ,
which I commanded my slaves the prophets ,
did they not overtake your (
note :){+}(:
note )
fathers ?
And they turned and said ,
Like Yahweh of hosts thought to do to us ,
according to our ways ,
and according to our doings ,
so has he dealt with us .
