And it came to pass in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of kingH4428 DariusH1867, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto ZechariahH2148 in the fourthH702 day of the ninthH8671 monthH2320, even in ChisleuH3691;
When they had sentH7971 unto the houseH1004 of GodH410 SherezerH8272 and RegemmelechH7278, and their menH582, to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, {pray…: Heb. intreat the face of}
And to speakH559 unto the priestsH3548 which were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, Should I weepH1058 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, separatingH5144 myself, as I have doneH6213 these so many yearsH8141?
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto me, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto 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 unto me, even to me?
And when ye did eatH398, and when ye did drinkH8354, did not ye eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves? {did not ye: or, be not ye they that}
Should ye not hear the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperityH7961, and the citiesH5892 thereof round about herH5439, when men inhabitedH3427 the southH5045 and the plainH8219? {Should…: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto ZechariahH2148, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shewH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251: {Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
And 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.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, 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. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he criedH7121, and they would not hearH8085; so they criedH7121, and I would not hearH8085, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
But I scattered them with a whirlwindH5590 among all the nationsH1471 whom they knewH3045 not. Thus the landH776 was desolateH8074 afterH310 them, that no man passed throughH5674 nor returnedH7725: for they laidH7760 the pleasantH2532 landH776 desolateH8047. {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}

O houseH1004 of DavidH1732, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH1777 judgmentH4941 in the morningH1242, and deliverH5337 him that is spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6231, lest my furyH2534 go outH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611. {Execute: Heb.

These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179: {execute…: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}

And let noneH376 of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbourH7453; and loveH157 no falseH8267 oathH7621: for all these are things that I hateH8130, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Ye shall doH6213 no unrighteousnessH5766 in judgmentH4941: thou shalt not respectH5375 the personH6440 of the poorH1800, nor honourH1921 the personH6440 of the mightyH1419: but in righteousnessH6664 shalt thou judgeH8199 thy neighbourH5997.
Ye shall doH6213 no unrighteousnessH5766 in judgmentH4941, in meteyardH4060, in weightH4948, or in measureH4884.
JustH6664 balancesH3976, justH6664 weightsH68, a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 hinH1969, shall ye have: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {weights: Heb. stones}
Therefore shall ye observeH8104 all my statutesH2708, and all my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them: I am the LORDH3068.

If there be among you a poor manH34 of oneH259 of thy brethrenH251 within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 in thy landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not hardenH553 thine heartH3824, nor shutH7092 thine handH3027 from thy poorH34 brotherH251:
But thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto him, and shalt surelyH5670 lendH5670 him sufficientH1767 for his needH4270, in that which he wantethH2637.
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
Thou shalt surelyH5414 giveH5414 him, and thine heartH3824 shall not be grievedH3415 when thou givestH5414 unto him: becauseH1558 that for this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thy worksH4639, and in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handH3027 unto.
For the poorH34 shall never ceaseH2308 out ofH7130 the landH776: therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto thy brotherH251, to thy poorH6041, and to thy needyH34, in thy landH776.
And if thy brotherH251, an Hebrew manH5680, or an Hebrew womanH5680, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee.
And when thou sendestH7971 him out freeH2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him go awayH7971 emptyH7387:
Thou shalt furnishH6059 him liberallyH6059 out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy floorH1637, and out of thy winepressH3342: of that wherewith the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him.
JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, throughout thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with justH6664 judgmentH4941.
Thou shalt not wrestH5186 judgmentH4941; thou shalt not respectH5234 personsH6440, neither takeH3947 a giftH7810: for a giftH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervertH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {words: or, matters}
That which is altogetherH6664 justH6664 shalt thou followH7291, that thou mayest liveH2421, and inheritH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee. {That which…: Heb. Justice, justice}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrificeH2077.
Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133? {the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? {cast…: or, afflicted}
Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234 as the morningH7837, and thine healthH724 shall spring forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rerewardH622. {be…: Heb. gather thee up}
Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205;
And if thou draw outH6329 thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflictedH6031 soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672:
For if ye throughlyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; if ye throughlyH6213 executeH6213 judgmentH4941 between a manH376 and his neighbourH7453;
But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you.
Thus saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; Let it sufficeH7227 you, O princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: removeH5493 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, take awayH7311 your exactionsH1646 from my peopleH5971, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069. {exactions: Heb. expulsions}
SowH2232 to yourselves in righteousnessH6666, reapH7114 inH6310 mercyH2617; break upH5214 your fallow groundH5215: for it is timeH6256 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, till he comeH935 and rainH3384 righteousnessH6664 upon you.
Ye have plowedH2790 wickednessH7562, ye have reapedH7114 iniquityH5766; ye have eatenH398 the fruitH6529 of liesH3585: because thou didst trustH982 in thy wayH1870, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mighty menH1368.
But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158. {run: Heb. roll}
He hath shewedH5046 thee, O manH120, what is goodH2896; and what doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH2617, and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with thy GodH430? {walk…: Heb. humble thyself to walk}

ButG235 woeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG2238 andG2532 rueG4076 andG2532 all mannerG3956 of herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 judgmentG2920 andG2532 the loveG26 of GodG2316: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863.
ForG1063 he shall have judgmentG2920 without mercyG448, that hath shewedG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; andG2532 mercyG1656 rejoiceth againstG2620 judgmentG2920. {rejoiceth: or, glorieth}
WhatG5101 doth it profitG3786, myG3450 brethrenG80, thoughG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004 he hathG2192 faithG4102, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 worksG2041? canG1410+G3361 faithG4102 saveG4982 himG846?
IfG1437+G1161 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 beG5225 nakedG1131, andG2532 destituteG3007+G5600 of dailyG2184 foodG5160,
