7Are these not the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 1proclaimedH7121 by the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and 2carefreeH7961 along with its citiesH5892 aroundH5439 it, and the 34NegevH5045 and the 5foothillsH8219 were inhabitedH3427?’”
8Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ZechariahH2148, sayingH559, 9“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has saidH559: ‘6DispenseH8199 trueH571 justiceH4941 and practiceH6213 7kindnessH2617 and compassionH7356 eachH376 to his brotherH251; 10and 8do not oppressH6231 the widowH490 or the 9orphanH3490, the strangerH1616 or the poorH6041; and do 10not deviseH2803 evilH7463 in your heartsH3824 against oneH376 anotherH312.’ 11But they 11refusedH3985 to payH7181 attentionH7181, and 1213turnedH5414 a stubbornH5637 shoulderH3802 and 1415pluggedH3513 their earsH241 from hearingH8085. 12They also madeH7760 their 16heartsH3820 as hard as 17a diamondH8068 18soH4480 thatH4480 they could notH4480 hearH8085 the LawH8451 and the 19wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 had sentH7971 by His SpiritH7307 throughH3027 the 20formerH7223 prophetsH5030; therefore greatH1419 21wrathH7110 cameH1961 from the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
