Zechariah 7:8-12

8Again the word of Adonai came to Zechariah saying,

9“Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: ‘Administer true judgment and practice mercy and compassion each to his brother.

10Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the outsider or the poor. Furthermore, do not let any of you devise evil against one another in your heart.’

11“But they refused to pay attention. They stubbornly turned their backs and stopped their ears from hearing.

12Indeed, they made their hearts as hard as flint preventing them from hearing the Torah or the words that Adonai-Tzva’ot sent by His Ruach through the former prophets. Consequently, great wrath came from Adonai-Tzva’ot.
