Zechariah 7:8-12

8Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ZechariahH2148 sayingH559,

9“ThusH3541 has the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 saidH559, ‘1DispenseH8199 trueH571 justiceH4941 and practiceH6213 2kindnessH2617 and compassionH7356 eachH376 to his brotherH251;

10and 3do not oppressH6231 the widowH490 or the 4orphanH3490, the 5strangerH1616 or the poorH6041; and do 6not deviseH2803 evilH7463 in your heartsH3824 against oneH376 anotherH312.’

11But they 7refusedH3985 to payH7181 attentionH7181 and 89turnedH5414 a stubbornH5637 shoulderH3802 and 1011stoppedH3513 their earsH241 from hearingH8085.

12They madeH7760 their 12heartsH3820 like 1314flintH8068 15soH4480 that they could not hearH8085 the lawH8451 and the 16wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 had sentH7971 by His SpiritH7307 throughH3027 the 17formerH7223 prophetsH5030; therefore greatH1419 18wrathH7110 cameH1961 from the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
