Zechariah 7:8-12

8Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,

9“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother.

10Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.’

11“But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.

12Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.
