Zechariah 7:2-7

2when Bethel had sent Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, to supplicate Jehovah,

3[and] to speak unto the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done now so many years?

4And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,

5Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye really fast unto me, [even] unto me?

6And when ye ate, and when ye drank, was it not you that were eating and drinking?

7Are not these the words that Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and at peace, and her cities round about her, when the south and the lowland were inhabited?
