*
In the eighth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
the word of the LORD came to Zechari '
ah the son of Berechi '
ah ,
son of Iddo ,
the prophet ,
saying ,
* "
The LORD was very angry with your fathers .
*
Therefore say to them ,
Thus says the LORD of hosts :
Return to me ,
says the LORD of hosts ,
and I will return to you ,
says the LORD of hosts .
*
Be not like your fathers ,
to whom the former prophets cried out , `
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds .'
But they did not hear or heed me ,
says 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 overtake your fathers ?
So they repented and said ,
As the LORD of hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds ,
so has he dealt with us ."
