Zechariah 7:2-7

2Now the people of BethelH1008 had sentH7971 SharezerH8272 and Regem-melechH7278, along with their menH582,1 to pleadH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 3by askingH559H413 the priestsH3548 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, as well asH413 the prophetsH5030H559, “Should I weepH1058 and fastH5144 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, asH834 I have doneH6213 theseH2088 manyH4100 yearsH8141?”

4Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 5“AskH559H413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776H413 and the priestsH3548H559, ‘WhenH3588 you fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventh monthsH7637 for theseH2088 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, was it really for MeH589 that you fastedH6684? 6And whenH3588 you were eatingH398H3588 and drinkingH8354, were you notH3808 doing so simply for yourselvesH8354? 7Are these notH3808 the wordsH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 proclaimedH7121 throughH3027 the earlierH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 and its surroundingH5439 townsH5892 wereH1961 populousH3427 and prosperousH7961, and the NegevH5045 and the foothillsH82192 were inhabitedH3427?’”
