Zechariah 7:5-12

5Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 6And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?1 7Should ye not hear the words which Yhwh hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?23

8And the word of Yhwh came unto Zechariah, saying, 9Thus speaketh Yhwh of Armies, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:4 10And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. 11But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.56 12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Yhwh of Armies hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from Yhwh of Armies.7
