5SpeakH559 to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 to me, even to me? 6And when ye ateH398, and when ye drankH8354, did ye not eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves ?1 7Should ye not hear the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperityH7961, and its citiesH5892 around itH5439, when men inhabitedH3427 the southH5045 and the plainH8219?23

8And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ZechariahH2148, sayingH559, 9Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and showH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251:4 10And oppressH6231 not the widowH490, nor the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, nor the poorH6041; and let none of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824. 11But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and withdrewH5414H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085.56 12Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.7
