Zechariah 1:1-3

1When Darius had been king of Persia for two years, Zechariah the prophet heard a message from the Lord. It was the eighth month of the year. Zechariah was the son of Berekiah, and Berekiah was the son of Iddo.

2This was the Lord's message: ‘I, the Lord, was very angry with your ancestors.

3Now I, the Lord Almighty, say this to you: “If you return to me, I will return to you.”
