1 # And it came to pass in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of king <04428> Darius <01867>, that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto Zechariah <02148> in the fourth <0702> day of the ninth <08671> month <02320>, even in Chisleu <03691>;
2 When they had sent <07971> (8799) unto the house <01004> of God <0410> Sherezer <08272> and Regemmelech <07278>, and their men <0582>, to pray <02470> (8763) before <06440> the LORD <03068>,
3 And to speak <0559> (8800) unto the priests <03548> which were in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and to the prophets <05030>, saying <0559> (8800), Should I weep <01058> (8799) in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, separating <05144> (8736) myself, as I have done <06213> (8804) these so many years <08141>?
4 Then came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
5 Speak <0559> (8798) unto all the people <05971> of the land <0776>, and to the priests <03548>, saying <0559> (8800), When ye fasted <06684> (8804) and mourned <05594> (8800) in the fifth <02549> and seventh <07637> month, even those seventy <07657> years <08141>, did ye at all <06684> (8800) fast <06684> (8804) unto me, even to me?
6 And when ye did eat <0398> (8799), and when ye did drink <08354> (8799), did not ye eat <0398> (8802) for yourselves, and drink <08354> (8802) for yourselves?
7 Should ye not hear the words <01697> which the LORD <03068> hath cried <07121> (8804) by <03027> the former <07223> prophets <05030>, when Jerusalem <03389> was inhabited <03427> (8802) and in prosperity <07961>, and the cities <05892> thereof round about her <05439>, when men inhabited <03427> (8802) the south <05045> and the plain <08219> ?
8 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto Zechariah <02148>, saying <0559> (8800),
9 Thus speaketh <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, saying <0559> (8800), Execute <08199> (8798) true <0571> judgment <04941>, and shew <06213> (8798) mercy <02617> and compassions <07356> every man <0376> to his brother <0251>:
10 And oppress <06231> (8799) not the widow <0490>, nor the fatherless <03490>, the stranger <01616>, nor the poor <06041>; and let none of you imagine <02803> (8799) evil <07451> against <0376> his brother <0251> in your heart <03824> .
11 But they refused <03985> (8762) to hearken <07181> (8687), and pulled away <05414> (8799) <05637> (8802) the shoulder <03802>, and stopped <03513> (8689) their ears <0241>, that they should not hear <08085> (8800).
12 Yea, they made <07760> (8804) their hearts <03820> as an adamant stone <08068>, lest they should hear <08085> (8800) the law <08451>, and the words <01697> which the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sent <07971> (8804) in his spirit <07307> by <03027> the former <07223> prophets <05030>: therefore came a great <01419> wrath <07110> from the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried <07121> (8804), and they would not hear <08085> (8804); so they cried <07121> (8799), and I would not hear <08085> (8799), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> :
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind <05590> (8762) among all the nations <01471> whom they knew <03045> (8804) not. Thus the land <0776> was desolate <08074> (8738) after <0310> them, that no man passed through <05674> (8802) nor returned <07725> (8802): for they laid <07760> (8799) the pleasant <02532> land <0776> desolate <08047>.
