Zechariah 7:1-10

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of kingH4428 DariusH1867, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto ZechariahH2148 in the fourthH702 dayH2320 of the ninthH8671 monthH2320, even in ChislevH3691.

2Now they of Beth-el had sentH7971 SharezerH8272 and Regem-melech, and their menH376, to entreatH2470 the favour of the LORDH3068,

3and to speakH559 unto the priestsH3548 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, Should I weepH1058 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, separating myself, as I have doneH6213 theseH2088 soH6213 manyH4100 yearsH8141?

4Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto meH413, sayingH559,

5SpeakH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and in the seventhH7637 month, evenH3588 theseH2088 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH3605 fastH6684 unto meH413, evenH3588 to meH413?

6And when ye eatH398, and when ye drinkH8354, do notH3808 ye eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves?

7Should ye notH3808 hear the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 by the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperity, and the citiesH5892 thereof roundH5439 aboutH1961 herH5439, and the SouthH5045 and the lowlandH8219 were inhabitedH3427?

8And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto ZechariahH2148, sayingH559,

9ThusH3541 hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 spokenH559, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shew mercyH7356 and compassionH7356 everyH376 manH376 to his brotherH251:

10and oppressH6231 notH408 the widowH490, norH408 the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, norH408 the poorH6041; and letH408 noneH408 of youH3824 imagine evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824.
