Zechariah:1:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the eighth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah ,
son of Berechiah ,
son of Iddo ,
the prophet ,
saying :
*
Yahweh ,
was sore displeased ,
with your fathers :
*
therefore shalt thou say unto them ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh of hosts ,
Return ye unto me ,
urgeth Yahweh of hosts ,
that I may return unto you ,
saith Yahweh of hosts .
*
Do not become like your fathers ,
unto whom the former prophets ,
proclaimed ,
saying ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh of hosts ,
Return ,
I pray you ,
from your wicked ways ,
and from your wicked practices ;
but they heard not ,
nor hearkened unto me ,
declareth Yahweh .
*
Your fathers ,
where are they ?
and ,
the prophets ,
to times age-abiding ,
do they live ?
*
Howbeit ,
as for my words and my statutes with which I charged my servants the prophets ,
did they not overtake your fathers ?
and so they returned and said ,
Just as Yahweh of hosts planned to do unto us ,
according to our ways and according to our practices ,
So hath he dealt with us ?
